Supreme Court denies immunity to commando accused of murder
The Supreme Court has refused an exemption from surrender to an NSG commando accused of choking his wife in a suspected dowry death.
He argued that he shouldn't have to surrender because he was involved in a military operation, but the court made it clear—military service doesn't put anyone above the law.
Justice Ujjal Bhuyan called the alleged crime "gruesome" and said being fit or serving the country doesn't excuse serious charges like these.
Commando to surrender in 2 weeks
The court has ordered the commando to surrender within two weeks and will review his appeal after six weeks.
He faces charges under Section 304B of the Indian Penal Code, which deals with dowry deaths—cases where a woman dies within seven years of marriage and there's evidence of cruelty or harassment over dowry demands.
The legal process is moving forward, with both sides set to present their arguments soon.
