The High Court told the Deoria SP - why wasn't the SHO suspended? Ask those in custody for forgiveness, not from the court; this is a case of illegal detention.

In the Deoria illegal detention case, the court expressed strong displeasure to the SP after information surfaced about the CCTV camera in the police station being out of order. The court questioned the SP as to why no action was taken against the concerned SHO despite such a major lapse. The court asked why the SHO was not suspended and suggested that an apology be sought from those detained, not from the court. Four people were allegedly kept in custody for about 10 days at Deoria's Gauri Bazar police station.
