The Madras High Court criticized Chennai Police for leaking the identity of a sexual assault victim from Anna University, questioning their accountability and handling of the case. The Court stressed the need for redaction of victim details in FIRs, emphasizing that lapses could deter future victims from seeking help.
The Supreme Court on Monday (16th Dec) ruled that the NIA can investigate not only scheduled offences but also non-scheduled offences if a connection is established. The court denied bail to Ankush Vipan Kapoor, accused of smuggling heroin, linking him to a larger smuggling network. Concerns over drug abuse and societal impacts were also highlighted.
