The judge stated that "laxity" in the investigation was not the same as "forgery" which is an offence.
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday said there was "complete forgery of documents" by Uttar Pradesh police personnel who arrested two residents here without informing the local police and kept them in illegal custody for two days.
Justice Mukta Gupta noted that as per the inquiry carried out by the Uttar Pradesh Police, the call data record of the erring officials revealed that the two arrested persons - who were the brother and father of a boy who got married to a girl against her family's wishes - were taken away from Delhi to Shamli in UP where they were shown to be arrested after two days and sent to jail following the failure of "talks" between the families.
The judge stated that "laxity" in the investigation was not the same as "forgery" which is an offence and had it not been for the timely intervention, the two arrested persons would be languishing in jail.
"From 6th to 8th (of September 2021), they (arrested persons) were in illegal custody. FIR was registered after they were taken away. It is a complete forgery of documents. A to Z, every document is forged," the court remarked.
