NDTV
The Delhi-based petitioner has said in his plea that he has been a victim of a "dastardly hate crime" in Noida where he was "abused, tortured and systematically stripped of his dignity" by a group of individuals on July 4 this year.
A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking a fair investigation and trial on a complaint by a senior citizen who has claimed that he was abused and tortured in an alleged hate crime in Noida in July this year.
The plea, which has also sought initiation of appropriate departmental or punitive proceedings against some police officers of district Gautam Buddh Nagar (Noida, Uttar Pradesh) for allegedly failing to comply with the preventive and remedial measures as directed by the top court in one of its earlier verdicts, came up for hearing on Friday before a bench of Justices AM Khanwilkar and CT Ravikumar.
The bench said the matter would be heard along with other pending petitions related to the issue of hate speech.
The top court granted liberty to the petitioner to serve advance copy of the plea to the standing counsel Uttar Pradesh and other respondents.
