Unwilling to give up the struggle for justice for her 27-year-old son Khwaja Yunus, whose body she never saw after he allegedly “disappeared” from police custody, 74-year-old Asiya Begum has approached the Bombay High Court for the umpteenth time. This time, it is with a plea to set aside the trial court’s order of September 7, 2022.

That order put the four policemen named by an eyewitness as having tortured her son till he collapsed, out of the purview of the ongoing trial in the Khwaja Yunus custodial death matter. Currently four policemen, including Sachin Waze, are on trial for murder of the software engineer from Parbhani. These four were the last to be seen with him.
