A shocking report has been submitted to the Bombay High Court concerning the encounter of Akshay Shinde, who allegedly exploited innocent girls at a school in Badlapur. The investigation reveals that the force used by five policemen escorting the accused was unnecessary and that their actions led to his death. This report from the judicial inquiry committee is likely to intensify political tensions.

Akshay Shinde was implicated in a case of abusing three children at a school in Badlapur. Reports indicate that during his transfer from Taloja jail, Shinde allegedly seized a revolver from a police vehicle and shot at the police team, injuring an officer. The police claimed they shot Shinde in self-defense during the exchange. However, new findings from the judicial inquiry have raised doubts about this account.

“The use of force by the five police officers in the encounter with Akshay Shinde was unnecessary, making them all responsible for his death. Although the police assert that Shinde fired at them, there are no fingerprints on the deceased’s gun. The justification for the officers' actions in self-defense is unreasonable and raises concerns,” the report stated.
