Dehradun Police Under Fire: Delayed FIR, Denies Racial Angle in Anjel Chakma Killing

  • Dehradun Police lodged FIR three days after Anjel Chakma's assault, despite his critical condition.
  • After Chakma's death, police added murder charges but did not invoke racial violence sections (103 (2) BNS).
  • Police officially state no prima facie evidence of racial violence, contradicting Chakma family's claims of slurs.
  • Main accused, Yagyaraj Awasthi, remains at large weeks after the December 9 assault.
  • Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Dhami spoke to Chakma's father, mentioning calls from Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh.

Why It Matters: Dehradun Police face scrutiny for delayed action and dismissing racial motives in Anjel Chakma's murder.
