Delhi Court Denies Anticipatory Bail to IPS Officer in Unauthorised Raid Case

A Delhi court rejected anticipatory bail for IPS officer Shankar Choudhary in a case involving unauthorised raids and illegal detention during a 2023 narcotics operation. The court described the case as a clear abuse of authority and misuse of power by the senior officer, noting concerns over potential evidence tampering. Choudhary, then Superintendent of Police (Narcotics) in Mizoram, allegedly conducted raids without proper authorisation and detained suspects without formal arrest procedures.
