Judges suggest senior IPS officer lead special investigation team

The bench recommended a restructuring of the SIT, proposing that a senior and experienced IPS officer head the team to bring decisive expertise to the probe. The Solicitor General clarified that the SIT currently comprises police officials handling the case as a cognizable offence based on the FIR. He also noted that a status report from the state government has been filed, eight arrests have been made, and the investigation continues under confidentiality to avoid compromising the process.
