Chandigarh, April 9 Allowing a writ petition, the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Friday quashed the investigation carried out by the state in the Kotkapura firing case. The High Court also directed the state to reconstitute the special investigating team without IPS officer Kunwar Vijay Partap Singh. The directions by Justice Rajbir Sehrawat came on a petition filed by Gurdeep Singh and another police official seeking the quashing of “subsequent” FIR registered in the Kotkapura firing case. Directions were also sought for removal of IPS officer Kunwar Vijay Partap Singh from the investigation of the case. The Bench was told that the subsequent FIR dated August 7, 2018, for attempt to murder and other offences under Sections 307, 326, 324, 323, 341, 201, 218, 120-B and 34 of the IPC registered at Kotkapura city police station was illegal.
