Court refuses separate jail van to Abhishek Verma's wife

Special CBI Judge Sanjeev Jain did not accept Anca's plea saying it was practically "not feasible" to provide a separate jail van to every undertrial prisoner.

The court, however, directed the Tihar Jail Superintendent and the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) of third battalion of the Delhi Armed Police, which is responsible for ferrying undertrial prisoners between courts and jails, to ensure safety and security of Anca.

"In view of the report, practically it is not feasible to provide a separate jail van to each and every undertrial prisoner. In my opinion, the safety and security of applicant Anca may be ensured by the officials of the third battalion," the judge said. (more)
