The Allahabad High Court today rapped the CBI for tardy investigation into the Jawahar Bagh episode of Mathura where violence during eviction of squatters from the public park last year had left more than 20 people dead, including two police officials. While ordering the CBI inquiry, the court directed setting up of "two independent teams comprising adequate number of officers". A huge cache of arms, ammunition and explosives were recovered from the public park after the eviction of the squatters. The squatters, who were said to be around 3,000 in number, ran a parallel administration at Jawahar Bagh where they had built huts and toilets and those not belonging to their group were prevented from entering the public park.
