Jharkhand HC Holds Two Cops Responsible for Illegal Arrests of Flipkart Employee

The Jharkhand HC ruled that the arrest of Flipkart employees by two police officers violated Supreme Court guidelines on arrests.

The arrest stemmed from a complaint accusing a delivery agent of attempting to deliver goods without an order and requesting an OTP.

The Court noted that the police did not issue a notice under Section 41A of the CrPC before making the arrests, as mandated in the Satyendra Kumar Antil v. Central Bureau of Investigation rulings.

The Court deemed the arrests unjustified and directed disciplinary action against the officers, emphasizing the importance of following proper arrest procedures.
