Delhi Police on Wednesday informed the High Court that it will install CCTV cameras in all its police stations in the national capital by mid-October.
A division bench of Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Chander Shekhar asked Delhi Police and the Public Works Department (PWD) to file a joint status report explaining the details of vulnerable spots where cameras are required and listed the matter for October 4.
The court was hearing a public interest litigation initiated by it in 2012 after the fateful incident of the December 16, 2012 gang rape case along with a plea of social activist Ajay Gautam seeking installation of CCTV cameras at police stations to ensure transparency.
