Indian Court Highlights Police Role in Criminalisation

Imagine the police are like referees in a game.

This news is about a court reminding them to follow the rules before accusing someone of a crime.

The court said the police shouldn't immediately start a full investigation; they should first check if there's a good reason to believe a crime happened.

This is to make sure people aren't wrongly accused.

The case was about a politician who posted something online.

The court stopped the police from investigating too quickly, stressing that the police need to be careful and follow the rules to ensure fairness and prevent frivolous cases.
