The Chief Justice of Punjab claimed that Delhi police prevented Dipke from meeting his worried parents, while the police have now released a video they say supports their actions.
The Chief Justice of Punjab (CJP) has publicly accused Delhi police of denying Dipke, a minor involved in a recent investigation, the opportunity to speak with his concerned parents. According to the CJP, the parents were anxious to understand the circumstances surrounding the case, but police officials allegedly barred any direct communication.
In response, the Delhi Police issued a statement asserting that procedural protocols were followed and that the denial was not intended to obstruct parental involvement. To substantiate their position, the police released a video clip they describe as evidence of the interactions that took place at the police station.
The video, posted on the department's official channels, shows officers briefing the parents about legal procedures and the rights of the minor. While the footage does not display a direct conversation between Dipke and his parents, officials argue it demonstrates compliance with standard operating procedures.
Legal experts note that the dispute highlights the delicate balance between safeguarding a minor's rights and ensuring due process. The matter may see further judicial scrutiny if the CJP decides to pursue formal action against the police.
The case remains under investigation, and authorities have not disclosed any additional details pending further inquiry.
