Gujarat High Court Orders Transfer of DCP Amid Public Assault Inquiry
The Gujarat High Court has directed the immediate transfer of a Deputy Commissioner of Police in Surat following videos showing him and other officers publicly parading and assaulting handcuffed accused persons. The court emphasized that the officer's continued presence could compromise the impartiality of the ongoing inquiry. The incident, which occurred on July 14, has prompted a suo motu PIL, with the court scheduling further hearings and urging the state to ensure an independent investigation.
