A Mumbai court has ordered the release of a Delhi youth arrested for making objectionable edited pictures of Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha viral on social media.
After Sonakshi’s complaint, Bandra Police of Mumbai registered a case and arrested the accused Aryan Deepak Jain from Shahdara area of Delhi.
However, the court rejected the police’s demand for three days’ custody for not following legal procedure during the arrest.
Police was brought to Mumbai by direct flight from Delhi
According to India Today report, Bandra Police arrested the accused Aryan Deepak Jain yesterday at around 10:11 am from Jagatpuri police station area in Shahdara, Delhi. After this the police brought him directly to Mumbai by flight.
Bandra Police produced the accused before the Mumbai Magistrate and sought three days’ police custody. The police’s argument was that they wanted to recover the electronic device which was allegedly used to create and spread the objectionable images.
Sonakshi Sinha had complained to Mumbai Police after seeing her objectionably edited pictures on social media.
The court expressed displeasure over not being produced before the local magistrate.
During the hearing, the magistrate raised questions on the action of Bandra Police. The court asked why after arresting the accused from Delhi, he was brought directly to Mumbai without producing him before the nearest magistrate there.
The court said that the police did not follow the prescribed legal procedure and could not give any satisfactory reason behind this lapse. On this basis, the court refused to grant custody and ordered the release of the accused.
Lawyers raised questions on the legality of the arrest
Lawyers of accused Aryan Deepak Jain also challenged the legality of the arrest in the court. The lawyers argued that the police neither gave the necessary notice to the accused before the arrest nor informed him about the reasons for his detention.
The defense side questioned the haste of the police and said that Aryan has not committed any crime and the legal sections imposed on him do not apply.
Sonakshi Sinha started her film career with Salman Khan’s film Dabangg.
