The First Additional District Judge, Coimbatore, on Saturday held that the Indian Air Force (IAF) can retain the custody of the Flight Lieutenant, who was arrested by the Coimbatore City Police on charges of raping a woman colleague.
Allowing the IAF to have the custody of the accused, Flight Lieutenant Amitesh Harmukh, 29, the court permitted the police to proceed with their investigation.
Judge S. Nagarajan held that the accused would only be under the custody of the IAF, and the police should give proper intimation in advance for the investigation. Upon receiving such intimation or requisition, the IAF should provide a feasible atmosphere within the campus of the Air Force and should allow privacy of the investigation by the police.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
