The court was hearing a PIL by a local lawyer, who while seeking CBI probe into the incident also sought a direction for compensation of Rs 25 lakh to the victim's family to be deducted from the policemen concerned.
He had also sought direction for dismissal of the police personnel, whose name has come up into the light.
