Allahabad High Court Awards Compensation for Unlawful Detention of Accused's Relative
The Allahabad High Court ruled that detaining a suspect's family member to pressure the accused into surrendering is unlawful. The court awarded Rs 40,000 compensation to Arvind Kumar Yadav, who was held for four days despite no connection to his brother's case involving attempt to murder. The court condemned police pressure tactics and ordered the compensation to be recovered from the responsible officers' salaries, emphasizing that unlawful detention violates personal liberty rights.
