A Delhi Magistrate ordered the police to inform Rahul and Sonia Gandhi about the FIR in the National Herald case and give them a copy. But the Sessions Court quickly stayed the order after the police challenged it.
The Supreme Court strongly criticised the Centre and several States for not complying with its 2020 order mandating CCTV installation in all police stations, calling custodial deaths a serious “blot on the system”. The Court has granted three weeks for compliance, failing which senior officials will have to personally explain the delay.
