This development marks a significant step in seeking justice for the victim and highlights the commitment to uphold the rule of law, even when cases have remained unresolved for years.
Sengbath Marak’s encounter killing in a Meghalaya village in 2015 had sparked outrage and raised concerns about extrajudicial actions and human rights violations. The incident had led to allegations of excessive use of force by law enforcement personnel, prompting demands for a thorough and impartial investigation.

The agency’s involvement signifies a commitment to transparency, accountability, and ensuring that justice is served.
The decision to reopen the case underscores the importance of addressing historical cases of alleged human rights violations and ensuring that the truth prevails. By assuming responsibility for the investigation, the CBI aims to provide closure to the victim’s family, hold those responsible accountable, and restore faith in the justice system.
The investigation is likely to involve re-examining evidence, interviewing witnesses, and conducting a comprehensive analysis of the circumstances surrounding the encounter. The CBI’s involvement also highlights the need for rigorous scrutiny of law enforcement actions to ensure that they adhere to legal and ethical standards.
As the CBI’s investigation progresses, the focus will be on unearthing the truth and providing justice to Sengbath Marak and his family. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of timely and impartial investigations into alleged human rights violations, regardless of the passage of time.
