Mathura violence: SC to hear plea demanding CBI probe

June 07, 2016 09:17

The Supreme Court will on Tuesday hear a plea demanding a CBI probe into the recent violence in Mathura, which left at least 29 people dead and several others injured.

The apex court had yesterday agreed to hear a plea demanding a CBI probe into the Mathura violence issue and posted the matter for hearing on Tuesday.

In the first major fallout after the Mathura clashes, the Uttar Pradesh government on Monday shunted out the District Magistrate and the Senior Superintendent of Police of Mathura even as it dismissed BJP's charge that there was political pressure on police to not evict encroachers from Jawahar Bagh.
