A habeas corpus petition was moved on behalf of Bhasin after the UP Police arrested him near Connaught Place on February 18. Bhasin was first detained by the Noida Police on February 16, based on a complaint filed by DS Group co-promoters regarding certain incidents that had taken place at the Grand Venice Mall in Greater Noida. He was released the same day.In its status report submitted on February 19, Delhi Police had said that the Connaught Place police station had not received any prior notification regarding Bhasin’s arrest from Beta II police station in Gautam Buddh Nagar. They were given information about the arrest only late in the evening, it stated. The court observed, “Another cause for concern is the fact that the UP Police have entered Delhi and picked up a resident of Delhi without any information being given to the Delhi Police and without following the prescribed protocol… The matter requires a deeper look as none of the other prescribed procedures appears to have been followed. If the procedures prescribed are not followed, the arrest would be contrary to law…”© The Indian Express Pvt LtdTags:UP Police
