Allahabad High Court Orders 24/7 CCTV Operation and Safeguards in Police Stations
The Allahabad High Court has mandated that CCTV systems in police stations remain operational 24/7 throughout the year. In a case involving Raghvendra Dubey, the court set aside his arrest due to a deficient arrest memo and awarded compensation for illegal detention. The court directed that during CCTV outages, police must record all details of detainees in the General Diary, notify superiors, and ensure minimal downtime. The ruling addresses concerns over police manipulation of CCTV footage within stations.
