A Court-appointed Committee prima facie established that SI (PS Loni) took a Loni woman from JNU to her parents without her consent and kept a Loni man in the PS Loni lockup from 3 July till the night of 5 July 2018 without producing him before any court, while Delhi Police (PS Vasant Kunj North) failed to intervene or record the visit. The Court held the arrest power grossly misused in violation of s.41B CrPC safeguards, ordered compensation from Uttar Pradesh with a DGP apology, and directed disciplinary action plus compliance reports. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
