NEW DELHI, January 16: A Delhi court lambasted the city police personnel for illegally arresting two men, Ram Prakash and Ishad who had failed to give proof of ownership of their personal belonging including a suitcase, bag and clothes. One of them was detained for over a month.

The metropolitan magistrate also cautioned the policemen against the mindless use of the Delhi Police Act. “When the protectors of civil rights go berserk, law and order gets replaced with anarchy,” Gupta said in his order, while discharging the two.

“What more ignoble infraction of human rights can be there than the fact that due to reckless and rather, I must say, mindless action of the police officials, one of the accused has been languishing behind the bars for more than a month,” Gupta said.

A Kashmere Gate police station assistant sub-inspector (ASI) P C Gill, the investigating officer in the case, along with constable Ishwar Prasad had arrested near ISBT on the night of November 8 and later charge-sheeted them under section 103 of Delhi Police Act.

The two accused submitted before the court that police had seized their bag and suitcase and falsely implicated them in the case.

Premji said that Wipro would partner with the Government "to find a lasting solution for Bengaluru's mobility challenges".
