New Delhi, Jun 8 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to consider a plea urging the court to transfer investigations into the death of a third year student of Jodhpur-based National Law University in August 2017, from Rajasthan Police to the CBI.

A bench of Justices R.F. Nariman, Navin Sinha and B.R. Gavai issued notice to the Rajasthan government, the CBI and others, seeking their response on the plea filed by Neetu Kumar Nagaich, the mother of 21-year-old victim Vikrant Nagaich, through advocate Sunil Fernandes. The bench noted that it will hear the matter within two weeks, and also look at the status of the probe conducted so far.

"Despite the lapse of almost three years, no charge sheet has been filed. The investigation is at a standstill, with no effort made to apprehend the offenders," said the plea.

The petitioner also claimed that the case was registered after a delay of around 10 months in June 2018. The petitioner has urged the top court to issue a direction to the CBI to take all steps to "solve the mystery of the unnatural death".

The plea claimed that there are many gaps in the probe and apprehends that it is a result of a "probable collusion to shield some high, mighty and influential person(s)".

According to the plea, the student on August 13, 2017, went to a restaurant, which was nearly 300 metres from the university campus, with his friends in the evening, but he did not show up. His body was found the next morning near the railway tracks. The plea argued that the police are yet to retrieve the victim's mobile phone data with the help of Google, WhatsApp or Facebook, to find out his whereabouts on the night of the incident.

The petitioner insisted that there is reasonable suspicion about the cricrumstances behind the death of her son, and she is not satisfied with the probe so far. She said that she has been left dismayed and devastated after the death of her only child.
