Following the shooting, five policemen have been detained in connection with the incident.
One was pointed out during an Identification parade yesterday. The other 4, who participated in the parade were not pointed out.
More parades are to be held. Four of the five policemen are reportedly facing charges for witnessing an unlawful act and failing to file a report under Section 11 of the INDECOM Act.
