Farmer's suicide: Delhi Police refuses to share details with District Magistrate

NEW DELHI: Delhi Police today again refused to share details and evidences with the District Magistrate in connection with the farmer's suicide at an AAP rally here as the deadline set by the latter passed.

Police have cited legal nitty gritties to defy the DM's request who has been asked by the Delhi government to carry out a magisterial inquiry into the alleged suicide of Rajasthan farmer Gajendra Singh on Wednesday.

The DM had set 11 AM as deadline for the police to submit details regarding the case.

Delhi Police spokesperson Rajan Bhagat said police has powers to investigate the issue under the CrPC Act as well as the Delhi Police Act.
