Rajasthan Police Bans Public Display of Accused Photos After High Court Order
- •Rajasthan Police has decided to stop publicizing photos of arrested accused and parading them before the media.
- •The decision follows clear instructions from the Rajasthan High Court, emphasizing privacy and fundamental rights.
- •ADG (Law and Order) Hawa Singh issued orders to all districts and units, stating an arrested person is an accused, not an offender, until proven guilty by a court.
- •Publicizing identity or photos of an accused is considered a violation of privacy and fundamental rights.
- •The new directive aims to prevent damage to the social image of individuals who may later be proven innocent, aligning with Supreme Court and High Court objections to such practices.
Why It Matters: Rajasthan Police will no longer release photos or parade accused, upholding privacy rights per High Court orders.
