‘Two police officers were appointed to help the Commission in reinvestigating the cases. One of the IPS officer Rajdeep Singh (Retd) did not join the SIT and that’s why the SIT has not functioned for last three months,’ Sardar Singh said in the letter released to media on Thursday.
‘The Home ministry was supposed to forward the name of another IPS officer to the Supreme Court for approval, but as per our information no substitute name has been sent in place of IPS Rajdeep
Singh, consequently no progress has been made in the investigation of the case,’Mr Singh said.
