Haryana police conducted a covert operation in plain clothes, prompting questions about the legality of the action under a recent court order.
A court in Haryana had recently issued an order restricting police from conducting certain operations without prior approval. The order aimed to curb excessive use of force and ensure transparency.
Despite the order, Haryana police carried out a covert operation in plain clothes targeting a suspected gang in the state. The operation was carried out without any public notice or coordination with the court.
The police department defended the action as necessary for public safety, citing an urgent threat. However, the court has not yet responded to the police's justification.
The incident has raised concerns among legal experts about the balance between law enforcement and judicial oversight. Authorities are expected to review the operation in light of the court's directive.
