Follow law in probing student activists, cops told
The Morning Standard
|March 17, 2026
THE Delhi High Court on Monday directed the police to follow law during its probe against 10 student activists who alleged that they were “abducted” and kept in “illegal detention” by cops, even though the court did not even know “what they are investigating”.
The judge, meanwhile, refused to constitute a medical board to examine the injuries received by one of the detainee students, Rudra Vikram, who alleged “torture” in the custody. “There is no need for medical (board). You can get it done yourself,” the bench said.
A bench of Justices Navin Chawla and Ravinder Dudeja, however, directed them to preserve the CCTV footage of the Special Cell Police Station where the students were allegedly taken. The bench was hearing a habeas corpus petition filed by Rudra’s lawyer, seeking his release.
