Allahabad High Court Orders Release of Wiztown Director in Noida Techie Death Case

The Allahabad High Court has ordered the immediate release of Abhay Kumar, Director of MZ Wiztown Planners, holding that his arrest in the Noida techie death case was illegal due to non-compliance with mandatory arrest procedures.

The Court found that the police failed to inform him of the grounds of arrest and did not supply a copy of the arrest memo, as required under Clause 13.

Consequently, the judicial remand orders were quashed.

The case relates to the death of a 27-year-old software engineer who drowned after his car fell into a water-filled trench at an undeveloped site in Noida.
