Delhi Court Criticizes Gujarat Police for Taking Minor as Bait in Kidnapping Case
A Delhi court criticized four Gujarat Police officers for illegally taking a minor boy from his mother in Delhi and transporting him to Gujarat as bait to capture his father, an accused in a case. The court rejected the officers' claim that their actions were official duties, describing their conduct as akin to 'colonial overlords.' The court upheld kidnapping charges, noting the boy was allegedly confined and abused during the transfer, and ruled no prior government sanction was needed to prosecute the officers.
