In a significant development regarding the Janakpuri biker death case, a Delhi court has issued a notice to the Delhi Police demanding explanations for the lack of CCTV footage related to the alleged illegal detention of sub-contractor Rajesh Kumar Prajapati. The case centers around the death of Kamal Dhyani, who tragically died on February 5, 2023, after his motorcycle fell into a 15-foot-deep sewage pit left open by the Delhi Jal Board during construction work. Judicial Magistrate Harjot Singh Aujla is presiding over the matter, which raises serious concerns about the police's handling of the case. The court has requested the production of Digital Video Recorder footage from February 6 to February 8 and questioned the absence of call data records and location tracking documents related to the accused. The investigating officer informed the court that the CCTV camera at the back gate of the police station was not operational at the time, prompting the court to grant the police an opportunity to clarify the situation and produce any available footage. The next hearing is scheduled for April 8.
