The Andheri metropolitan magistrate court has slammed the Juhu police for delaying the probe into a ragging complaint filed in 2015. The magistrate, who was hearing an application by the victim’s father, has issued a show cause notice to senior inspector and police inspector (PI), and DCP Zone IX, asking why they shouldn’t face a contempt of court case.

The complainant had approached the Andheri court in July this year after police allegedly did not investigate the case. Hearing the application in July, magistrate R R Khan directed Juhu police to investigate the case further and directed the Zone IX deputy commissioner of police to monitor the probe. Magistrate Khan issued the show cause notice on December 22 after police failed to abide by his order.
