Allahabad High Court Denies Relief to Police in Custodial Violence Case
The Allahabad High Court dismissed pleas by police personnel seeking protection under Section 197 of the CrPC in a case involving allegations of custodial violence and molestation. The court ruled that such acts, including repeated beatings and tying victims face down, cannot be considered part of official police duty but are heinous crimes. It upheld a trial court's rejection of discharge pleas in a 2022 case from Baberu police station, emphasizing that accused officers cannot claim immunity for these actions.
