Haryana: Kaithal Court Stuns Police, Puts SHO Rajesh Kumar Behind Bars for an Hour in Murder Trial Over Repeated Absence; Video Surfaces

In a dramatic turn during a special court hearing in Kaithal, Haryana, Additional District and Sessions Judge Mohit Aggarwal ordered Inspector Rajesh Kumar, SHO of Barabooda police station in Sirsa, to be kept in custody for an hour on Thursday. Kumar, the investigating officer in a 2021 Kakhedi village murder case, had repeatedly skipped court appearances, leading to a non-bailable warrant on August 29. When he finally appeared for testimony, the court directed his detention from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. inside the Bakshi Khana (lock-up) within the premises, even though no written order was initially produced. The controversy has raised legal questions on whether a police officer can be confined without documented instructions, sparking debate within the police department. Haryana: Cops Take INR 1000 Cash From Japanese Tourist for Riding Pillion Without Helmet, Fail To Issue Receipt for Violation; Gurugram Police Respond (Watch Video).
