The Supreme Court has sought responses from the Centre and Arunachal Pradesh government on a plea seeking an independent probe into the death of two persons, including a Lama of the Tawang Monastery, in alleged police firing last year. Tawang Monastery is the largest in India and second largest in the world after the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet.<br/><br/>The court issued the notices on a plea which said that if not an SIT, then a CBI probe should be directed by the court into the incident of alleged firing and injuries inflicted by police on the mob in protest leading to the death of two civilians.<br/><br/>The petition, filed on behalf of the sister and father of the deceased, referred to an inquiry commission report, which had stated that 380 rounds of ammunition were fired from different weapons, and after the firing incident, police requested all the magistrates to give firing order ex-post facto to regularise the firing.
