SC rejects MP minister's apology on Col Sophiya, forms SIT for probe
YUGMARG NEWSPAPER
|20-05-2025
The Supreme Court on Monday outright rejected the apology by Madhya Pradesh Minister Kunwar Vijay Shah over his controversial comment on Col Sofiya Qureshi and ordered formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the incident.
The SIT comprising senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officers has been asked to submit its status report by May 28. Shah, a BJP leader, has been directed to fully cooperate with the investigation.
"We are a country which follows rule of law. It is same for the highest to the lowest," the court observed.
The court expressed deep disapproval of the Minister's comment stating that he (Shah) had brought shame to the entire nation.
A bench comprising Justice Surya Kant and Justice N Kotiswar Singh was hearing Shah's plea challenging a Madhya Pradesh High Court order that had directed the registration of a criminal case against him.
