‘Raidurg Inspector unaware of criminal procedure code provisions and Supreme Court guidelines’
Observing that the Raidurg police of Cyberabad commissionerate failed to comply with the provisions of Criminal Procedure Code while arresting builder S. Sreedhar Rao, Justice Lalitha Kanneganti on Friday granted bail to the latter.
Sreedhar Rao of Sandhya Convention was arrested by the Raidurg police in Bengaluru two days ago and presented him before a local magistrate in Hyderabad. The magistrate remanded him in judicial custody for 14 days, after police presented details of a series of cases registered against him.
The judge told Public Prosecutor Pratap Reddy, appearing for the police, to sensitise police officers on the provisions of Cr.P.C. and the need to adhere to them. Senior counsel M.S. Prasad, appearing for Mr. Rao, said police acted in high-handed manner during the arrest of his client in Bengaluru.
