Delhi HC Orders Police Protection for Uttam Nagar Holi Victim’s Family

Direct access to the local SHO signals tighter oversight of police safeguards.

Overview

  • Delhi High Court on Thursday closed the family’s protection plea after police pledged safeguards and told the SHO to share his personal mobile number for distress calls.
  • Police said they have installed CCTV in the lane and nearby blocks and set up pickets, including a dedicated post outside the family’s home.
  • Officers reported removing more than 250 inflammatory videos and posts tied to the case and invited the family to flag any more for swift takedown.
  • The family reported fresh intimidation, saying masked women threatened the mother on April 13 and that a lock was broken and belongings taken on April 9, with an ACP now examining the complaints.
  • The probe continues under an FIR naming 22 suspects, with 18 arrests made, as the NHRC seeks an impartial inquiry after the Supreme Court earlier declined a court‑monitored probe.
