Saket court tightens security on premises after undertrial murder
Hindustan Times Haryana
|June 25, 2025
Increased surveillance
NEW DELHI: The Saket district court is ramping up its security, including the installation of integrated security equipment, at key entry points, after an undertrial was beaten to death by other inmates on June 6.
In a circular on Monday, principal district and sessions judge Shail Jain said security is being boosted in line with a Delhi high court order of November 24, 2021. Work commenced on June 13 and is expected to be completed by June 30, when summer vacation ends. Currently, two gates are closed and entry is permitted through a single point.
People aware of the development told HT besides new-generation X-ray baggage scanners and additional door-frame metal detectors, boom barriers and steel bollards were being installed at entry gates to supplement the existing infrastructure. "Baggage scanners, with more advanced technology, are being installed at all three gates. Additional door-frame detectors are also being added. Two new security features—boom barriers and bollards to regulate traffic movement—are a first," an official with the court's security cell said.
