The Delhi High Court (Justices S. Muralidhar and Talwant Singh) awarded Rs 50,000 each to newly-married a Loni man and a Loni woman for their illegal detention by UP police in July 2018. A Court-appointed Committee prima facie established that SI (PS Loni) took a Loni woman from JNU to her parents without her consent and kept a Loni man in the PS Loni lockup from 3 July till the night of 5 July 2018 without producing him before any court, while Delhi Police (PS Vasant Kunj North) failed to intervene or record the visit. The Court held the arrest power grossly misused in violation of s.41B CrPC safeguards, ordered compensation from Uttar Pradesh with a DGP apology, and directed disciplinary action plus compliance reports.
