Delhi Police Officer Jailed for Warrant Payment Failure
A police officer in Delhi was sent to jail because he didn't pay a fine after missing a court date.
The officer was supposed to be in court for a child abuse case but wasn't there.
The court then issued a warrant for his arrest.
The officer asked the court to cancel this warrant.
The judge said the officer could cancel it by paying a fine, but the officer changed his mind.
Because he didn't follow the court's order, the judge sent him to jail.
Sub-Inspector Sandeep Rawal was jailed for not paying a bailable warrant.
The bailable warrant for Rs 10,000 was issued because he was absent during a POCSO case.
Rawal requested cancellation of a non-bailable warrant, citing a court appearance elsewhere.
The judge refused to cancel the warrant without payment, citing his disregard for court process.
Rawal initially agreed to pay but later refused, leading to his jailing.
