Bombay High Court Orders Maharashtra Cop to Pay Rs 2 Lakh for Illegal Arrest
The Bombay High Court has ordered a Maharashtra Police officer to pay Rs 2 lakh to a man who was wrongfully arrested. Another police constable, the complainant in the case, was told to pay Rs 50,000 to his brother-in-law. The court found the arrest illegal because the charges were wrong and proper procedure was not followed. The case involved defamation and wrongful detention during a family dispute over marital cruelty.
