The Supreme Court on Wednesday, 30 September, strongly criticised the Uttar Pradesh Police for registering an FIR against an ‘unknown’ motorcycle rider in a harassment case despite the suspect being caught on the spot and handed over to the police. A bench of Justices Sanjay Kumar and Sanjeev Sachdeva questioned how people could trust the police if investigations were conducted in such a manner.
The court orally remarked that it might be better to ask the CBI to step in and take over all UP Police investigations, adding, ‘This nonsense has to stop at some point.’ The bench directed the station house officer of the Bulandshahr police station to appear personally at the next hearing and file a fresh affidavit explaining why the accused's name was initially left blank in the FIR and later added.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All six sources report the same event neutrally, with no discernible pro-government or critical slant. The court's sharp oral remarks and the petitioner's allegations are reproduced verbatim across outlets, and the one source that also carries the police denial (Times of India) includes it without favouring either side. The uniform coverage reflects a consensus that the bench's observations were unusually harsh, but no outlet frames the story as an indictment of the state government. The concrete next step is the SHO's personal appearance and fresh affidavit at the next hearing.
