The judicial probe into the Jawahar Bag incident in Mathura has begun its work with a former Allahabad high court judge inspecting the scene where 24 people including two police officers were killed on June 2 during an anti-encroachment drive.

"The probe would be based on the cause of incident, lacuna in collecting and providing information, shortcomings in the planning of Mathura police, role of supervising officers, efforts made to prevent incident, pressure if any on the district administration, role of officers during the incident and enquiry made," Justice Mirza Imtiaz Murtaza said, adding that anyone may present any information related to the incident.

A delegation of BJP leaders also met Justice Murtaza to present their submission. They, however, were told that if they are really interested in presenting something related to Jawahar Bag, they may do so before the commission on oath. 

As many as 25 affidavits were presented on Saturday before the commission which would function from the PWD inspection house till July 15.
