High Court Criticizes SHO for Illegal Detention
The High Court in Indore scolded a police officer for detaining and handcuffing a man without any official complaint.
The court said this was wrong because it violated the man's rights.
The officer admitted he did it but didn't get permission from the court.
The court wants a report on what will happen to the officer and will hear more about this on December 9, 2025.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court criticized SHO Indramani Patel for detaining and handcuffing Raja Dubey without an FIR.
The court found this action violated Article 21 of the Constitution, which guarantees fundamental rights.
Akash Tiwari filed a habeas corpus petition alleging his brother-in-law was unlawfully detained on November 26.
The SHO admitted to the detention and handcuffing but claimed it was to prevent Dubey from fleeing due to an alleged offence involving his father.
The court directed the Indore commissioner of police to submit a report on proposed departmental and criminal actions against the SHO.
