A Delhi court acquitted social activist Medha Patkar in a 2006 criminal defamation case filed by Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, citing lack of proof. The court held that failure to produce original video footage and key witnesses meant the allegations were not proved beyond reasonable doubt.
Delhi Lt Governor VK Saxena chaired a meeting to review the implementation of three new criminal laws in Delhi. The session emphasized the need for clear timelines and coordination. Key discussions included training health department officials and procurement of forensic vans. The laws have introduced new offences and extended police custody duration, requiring extensive training for legal professionals.
