HC tells Maharashtra to comply with order of CCTV in police stations

The Bombay High Court has asked Maharashtra government to file a compliance report on its earlier order directing it to install close circuit television cameras (CCTV) covering every nook and corner of all police stations so as to bring the entire place under surveillance. 

The court had last month ordered the state to install CCTVs at police stations against the backdrop of custodial deaths in Maharashtra which accounted for the highest number of such cases in the country. (Source: Security Today)

A bench of Justices V M Kanade and P D Kode was today informed that the state had been given a time of four weeks earlier to submit this report but has not filed it so far.  The court had noted on the last occasion that 23.48 per cent of the total custodial deaths in the country in the last 15 years took place in the state, citing the statistics provided by National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB).
