The Bombay High Court on Wednesday dismissed a petition filed by Kuldeep Singh, brother of deceased gangster Sandeep Gadoli seeking registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against the Gurgaon police under charges of murder.

The police had allegedly in a fake encounter gunned down Gadoli inside an Andheri Hotel, last month. A division bench of justices RV More and Shalini Phansalkar-Joshi accepted the arguments put forth by attorney general Mukul Rohatgi that the Haryana Police has already filed FIR in the case and investigation is on to ascertain if the encounter was fake. Rohatgi, who appeared for the Haryana government, told the court that ordering for multiple FIRs to be registered will only lead to "chaos and clutter".

Public prosecutor Sandeep Shinde along with Usha Kejriwal told the court today that an FIR has also been registered with the MIDC police here and a Special Investigation Team (SIT) under the assistant commissioner of police has been formed to probe the case. The family of the deceased can record its statements before it and charges levelled by them will be looked into.

Gadoli's brother has claimed that his brother was murdered by the Gurgaon Police at the behest of his business rival and politician Binder Gujjar. Gadoli's family also filed an application challenging the post-mortem report of the body.

Gadoli was shot dead by the Gurgaon Police in an alleged shootout at a Mumbai hotel on February 7. A day after the alleged shootout, an FIR was registered by MIDC police. The complainant, Gurgaon police sub-inspector (SI) Pradhuman Yadav, who led a team of eight personnel to Hotel Airport Metro, alleged that Gadoli fired at his men and died in counter attack. Hence, Gadoli was booked under attempt to murder charges.
