A Delhi court denied anticipatory bail to Mizoram-cadre IPS officer Shankar Chaudhary over alleged unauthorised raids, illegal detention and extortion, with Special Judge Manu Goel Kharb observing the acts “undermine the integrity of the justice system, erode public trust and tarnish the image of police as a whole.”
The Madras High Court ruled that prisoners should not be treated as slaves or subjected to inhumane treatment, responding to allegations of mistreatment by prison officials. The court emphasized that any exploitation of inmates must face strict action, underscoring the importance of lawful punishment and the responsibility of jail authorities to protect human dignity.
