Rajesh Talwar, father of deceased girl Arushi, has filed a case against Noida Police for violation of custodial rights guaranteed by Indian Constitution. The contempt petition was filed at the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate AK Singh around noon. In petition he has claimed that he was denied the right to consult lawyer during interrogation by police, also he was taken and kept in unidentified location for days.
The Judge has fixed the date of hearing on 30th May. According to Dr Talwar, the Noida Police move is against what the court has ordered. The court has categorically said a lawyer can be present during the interrogation. He is also planning to approach the Allahabad High Court in this regard. "During interrogation, one lawyer will remain with the accused at an appropriate distance," the court had said.
