On 25 July 2020 the officers forcibly removed the petitioner's shop goods to the police station and extracted a vacation undertaking in what was a civil landlord-tenant dispute, and on 14 August 2020 held him in the station for 7.5 hours without arrest memo on a mistaken-identity reward pretext, circulating his photograph as an arrested criminal. The court found malice and gross misuse of uniform, rejected Section 76 IPC protection for want of bona fide belief, and recorded violations of liberty, dignity, reputation and privacy under Article 21. It awarded Rs.5,00,000 (Rs.2L property damage + Rs.3L rights violation) recoverable from the three officers with Rs.20,000 costs, and directed the Lokayukt to lodge an FIR including under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
