Uttarakhand HC rejects plea for independent inquiry into 'purification' event following Kharge's speech

The Uttarakhand High Court has turned down a request for an unbiased investigation into a 'purification' ceremony held at a venue where Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge, a Dalit, had previously spoken. The court closed the case after the state's advocate general guaranteed that local police would carry out a transparent probe into the incident.
