The Supreme Court ordered a PIL regarding CCTV deficiencies in police stations. The court directed the registration of a ‘Lack of functional CCTVs in police stations’ petition. A report by Dainik Bhaskar stated 11 deaths in police custody in eight months. Rajasthan Police cited faulty cameras, storage issues, and confidentiality as reasons for withholding footage. The Supreme Court had previously mandated CCTV installation in all police stations and recording for one year. While 14 states and two UTs responded, many lacked details regarding installation and operation.
