Now the accused will be questioned on the ground floor in the police station. No accused will be taken to the first or other floors. Apart from this, when an accused is called to the police station for questioning, senior police officers of the police station will also have to give this information.
This step has been taken after the death of auto owner Dharmveer from the first floor of the police station in Lodi Colony police station in south Delhi under suspicious circumstances. According to senior police officials, orders have been issued in this regard.
District DCPs are briefing their district officials and police station officers about this. The order issued said that if an accused is taken to the first floor for questioning, strict action will be taken against that police officer.
It has also been said that the rooms of all the investigating officers (IOs) of the police station will be on the ground floor. The investigating officer will interrogate the accused in the transition room. After this order, the problem has arisen in front of many policemen.
