Cases Under Digital Security Act: Give training to cops to finish probe in 75 days
HC orders IGP
The High Court has directed the inspector general of police to take steps necessary to train officers to complete investigating cases filed under the Digital Security Act in 75 days.
"The investigation officers must take permission from the [cyber] tribunals concerned in order to continue investigations of the cases filed under the Digital Security Act, 2018 after 75 days of their filing under section 40 of the act," the HC said.
"But, it was noted that investigations of many cases, including those filed against [photojournalist] Shafiqul Islam Kajol, under the act were not completed in the stipulated period and the probes of the cases continued without permission from the tribunals.
