The judgment of the Madhya Pradesh High Court records the following account. In the early hours of 29.12.2025 the petitioner was picked up after a minor restaurant altercation in Indore, beaten by constables and [name withheld], and assaulted further inside Lasudiya Police Station in an area without CCTV coverage. The State denied assault and claimed the petitioner was taken to a camera-blind room used by women officers.

The Court also directed preservation of records and systemic CCTV and body-worn-camera measures for Indore police stations. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
