Arrest BSP MLA's Husband Wanted in Murder Case or Face Coercive Action: SC to MP Top Cop

News 18  

Stating that an effort is being made to “shield the accused”, the Supreme Court has directed the Madhya Pradesh police chief to ensure the arrest of a BSP MLA’s husband, who is wanted in a two-year-old murder case of Congress leader Devendra Chourasia, before April 5 and warned him of coercive action. The top court said that the DGP’s affidavit, defies reason as to how an accused who is the spouse of a sitting Member of the Legislative Assembly has not been arrested despite being arraigned in pursuance of the provisions of Section 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 to face trial for an offence under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code 1860. On March 13, the top court had taken serious note of the Madhya Pradesh Police’s failure to arrest Govind Singh and the alleged harassment of a judicial officer by the Damoh Superintendent of Police. The top court had noted that despite a non-bailable arrest warrant against Govind Singh, he has evaded arrest and “the rule of law must be preserved by arresting him.
