The report stated that the police have contacted family members of these policemen who are absconding.

A division bench of Justice BH Marlapalle and Justice Anoop Mohta observed: “We expect SIT, which is doing satisfactory job, will submit its eighth progress report by next date.” On Friday, a sessions court had issued non-bailable warrants against the seven policemen who were part of the encounter team.
