The Madhya Pradesh High Court criticised the State for suspending a police officer who raided an IAS officer’s farmhouse, calling the action arbitrary. It warned that suspension orders would deter officers from raiding premises for fear of suspension.
The Jharkhand High Court observed that the state police raid on the Enforcement Directorate office in Ranchi appeared prima facie preplanned. The Court ordered the deployment of the CRPF for security and stayed the FIR against the ED officials.
