SC says no to probe for Delhi encounter killings

The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a plea for an independent judicial probe into the killings of two suspected Indian Mujahideen terrorists and a Delhi Police inspector in the September 2008 Batla House shootout in Jamia Nagar at New Delhi. A bench of Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justices P Sathasivam and B S Chauhan dismissed the plea that the slain youths were innocent, saying "how can innocent people have arms and kill police".
