Over 19 years after the custodial death of 27-year-old Khwaja Yunus, the sessions court is likely to decide on September 7 whether three former and one serving Mumbai Police officer can be included as accused in the case.
On Thursday, an application moved by Yunus’ mother said that the first witness in the case, who had deposed in 2018, had named the four as the policemen who had assaulted Yunus, and hence, can be tried as accused.
The state government, through Special Public Prosecutor Pradip Gharat, however, said that such a decision should not be made at this stage. The sessions court will decide on both pleas on September 7.
