The Calcutta High Court directed the West Bengal government to file a report on allegations that extortion accused were paraded with ropes tied around their waists after their arrest. The Court stressed that police must act strictly according to law and ensure that no person is subjected to humiliation.
The Kerala Police Officers’ Association has approached the Supreme Court challenging the High Court’s guidelines that restrict arrests inside court premises, arguing that such directions amount to judicial legislation and create practical difficulties for effective law enforcement in practice.
