NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court has ruled in favor of a man who was unlawfully detained by city police officers in a lock-up for approximately half an hour, deeming the conduct of the officials "appalling" in their treatment of citizens.
In an effort to convey a "meaningful message," Justice Subramonium Prasad ordered a compensation of Rs 50,000 to be granted, with the funds to be deducted from the salaries of the responsible police officials.
