New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday asked the city police to explain their failure in solving the murder case of IT student Shobhit Modi, who was stabbed to death near his residence in the posh Vasant Kunj locality.
"Notice is issued to the Delhi Police for September 13," Justice Mukta Gupta said while asking the police to look into the allegations that the victim's father Suraj Modi has been threatened for his bid to get the murder mystery solved.
"The investigation of the police needs to be supervised," Justice Gupta said allowing the submissions of Shobhit's father that despite the lapse of 72 days, police has so far not been able to solve the case.
"We have also provided the names of the suspects, but the reasons (for their failure) are best known to them (police). No concrete action has been taken," the counsel for Modi said.
Shobhit, 20, an IT student at Manav Rachna University, Faridabad, was fatally stabbed by some unknown persons near his house at Vasant Kunj in south-west Delhi on May 5.
His father had moved the high court seeking a CBI probe into the murder, saying the police has been handling the case in an 'inefficient' manner and has failed to establish the motive behind the killing.
During the probe, police had interrogated victim's alleged girlfriend and her father after it was claimed that he had disapproved of their relationship.
