The Court further posed the question as to why the Superintendent of Police had not signed the report himself. The Court was highly dissatisfied with the punishment of \u201cCensure\u201d on the Investigating Officer, ASI, Arnab Chakraborty imposed by the appointing authority. The above report also revealed that he was recently promoted from Constable to ASI and entrusted investigation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court believed that the entire file as regards the conduct of the investigation by ASI, Arnab Chakraborty must be looked into by a higher authority. The Court directed that a copy of the writ petition by the Counsel for the petitioner shall be transmitted to the DGP along with the report of the Inspector-in-charge, Superintendent of Police dated 19-04-2022.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finding <strong>the investigation of the instant case perfunctory<\/strong> the Court handed over the investigation to CID for an independent investigation.
