A Delhi judge today criticized the police’s so‑called best efforts as a mockery after a crime syndicate leader was released following six years of incarceration.
The former gang leader, who had been in custody since 2017, was freed on Thursday after a court granted him bail on procedural grounds.
Judge S. K. Sharma, who presided over the case, said the police’s exhaustive investigations and arrests had not prevented the leader’s escape, calling the efforts ‘a mockery of law and order’.
The remarks come amid growing scrutiny of law‑enforcement agencies in Delhi, with officials citing procedural delays as the reason for the release.
