investigation against the Accused persons, through Central Bureau of

Investigation, in FIR No. 0354/2023, registered at P.S. Khyala.

2. The Petitioner is the brother of the deceased and seeks fair

investigation in the FIR.

3. It is submitted that on 09.07.2023, a PCR call was made vide DD No.

17A stating that, “yaha par ek ladki age lagbhag 30 to 35 years ne fansi

laga kar suicide kar lia hai”. The deceased was Babli, wife of accused Sunil

Chandela, who had committed suicide by hanging herself on the third floor.

The Police team arrived on the spot where they met husband Sunil

Chandela, and they all went to the third floor where they found the dead

body lying on the floor of the room.

4. During the investigation, Sunil Chandela and his family members

informed that they had brought down the dead body by cutting the rope with

the help of a knife. There were pieces of rope found outside the room and a

cut rope in the washbasin. Further investigations were done and it was noted

that the crime scene had already been disturbed/distorted by the Accused

persons, leading to tampering of material evidence.

5. The Petitioner was informed by one woman Shashi, the neighbour,

who not only was just a neighbour but also belonged to the same paternal

village of the deceased, that “Babli khatam ho gai hai”. The Petitioner along

with the members of his family, came to the matrimonial home of the

deceased where they found that the body had already been taken for post-

mortem. Without waiting for the parents of the deceased to reach the place

of incident or without even confirming as to whether the parents of the

deceased had been informed about the demise, the Police investigation team

sent the body for post-mortem. During this time, they met late Balram,

father-in-law of the deceased, and he stated that this mistake was done by

his son in connivance with his wife Vimla, daughter, Meenu and Rinki.

6. Thereafter, father of the deceased went under a state of deep grief

because of loss of his daughter. On the date of incident, Anil, cousin brother

of the deceased, made a Complaint against all the Accused person at P.S.

Khyala, Delhi. Thereafter, they took the body for cremation and the last

rituals.

7. Thereafter, when they came on 12.07.2023/13.07.2023, it was

astonishing for the Complainant that the FIR was still not lodged. The

Petitioner who is the real brother of the deceased, made another Complaint

on 13.07.2023, which was received by the Police and after immense

pressure from the deceased family and the natives, the FIR was registered on

14.07.2023, but no action was taken.

8. It is claimed that the Accused person belong to an influential political

family, having high political connection and the Police in order to save them

from law, refrained from taking any action against them.

1131/2023 wherein it was opined as a suicidal case. However, Post-Mortem
