A murder suspect who feared an encounter used police to file a fabricated arms case, leading to his incarceration under a ‘safety’ order.
A murder suspect, apprehended for a homicide charge, reportedly feared a police encounter and approached authorities to file a false arms possession case. The suspect claimed possession of illegal weapons, a claim that was later found to be fabricated. In response, the police arrested the individual and placed him in jail under a ‘safety’ order, citing concerns over potential violence or escape. The case was reported by The Times of India, which highlighted the unusual use of police powers by the accused to secure his own detention. Authorities have stated that the arms case was a sham and that the suspect remains in custody pending further investigation.
