New Delhi, Sept. 2 -- The Delhi High Court has said police cannot adopt a "pick-and-choose" approach to arrests and must clearly state whether they intend to take an accused into custody.
Justice Girish Kathpalia made the observation while hearing the bail plea of a man accused of child trafficking. The court noted that police had not taken action against the alleged main accused, despite acknowledging this during the hearing. While denying bail, the court criticised the investigation, particularly the failure to recover the allegedly trafficked girl. It directed the concerned DCP to take steps to recover the child and file a status report in four weeks. htc
