NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has taken serious note of the Madhya Pradesh Police's failure to arrest a BSP MLA's husband accused in the two-year-old murder case of Congress leader Devendra Chourasia, and directed the state's DGP to arrest him immediately.
The top court also took "serious note" of the alleged harassment of a judicial officer by the Damoh Superintendent of Police and asked the Director General of Police (DGP) to enquire into the allegations levelled by the Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ).
The ASJ, who is conducting a trial in the cases involving Govind Singh, the husband of BSP MLA Rambai Singh, has arrayed him as an accused in the murder case under section 319 of CrpC (Power to proceed against other persons appearing to be guilty of offence).
