Hearing at Information Commission reveals CCTV cameras at police station not functioning.
A Right to Information applicant who sought CCTV camera footage from a police station for a specific period was denied it, because cameras were non-functional, a hearing at the Telangana State Information Commission (TSIC) has revealed.
The issue came to light after the matter was posted before the TSIC in the last week of October, before Chief Information Commissioner Buddha Murali.
According to the order, the applicant, a resident of Tekulapalle, sought CCTV footage from cameras of Kondurgu police station, Ranga Reddy district, from March 28, 2021 to April 1, 2021 from the public information officer. His query was transferred to the sub-inspector of police of Kondurgu police station, under Section 6(3) of the RTI Act, 2005.
