Akshay Shinde was fatally shot by a police officer on September 23 near the Mumbra bypass in Thane district. Bombay High Court pulled up CID for failing to provide necessary evidence to the magistrate probing the custodial death case.

The Bombay High Court has criticized the Maharashtra CID for its 'lackadaisical' probe into the killing of the Badlapur school sexual assault case accused, Akshay Shinde, in an alleged police shootout on September 23. The court pointed to several lacunae in the investigation, including the lack of gunshot residue on Shinde's hands and fingerprints on the water bottle he was given. The court directed the CID to complete the probe in two weeks and submit all relevant material to the magistrate.
