A Delhi court has raised concerns over the police's handling of the Janakpuri biker death case, specifically regarding the alleged illegal detention of sub-contractor Rajesh Kumar Prajapati. The case revolves around the death of Kamal Dhyani, who fell into an open sewage pit on February 5. Judicial Magistrate Harjot Singh Aujla has issued a notice to the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) to investigate inconsistencies in the police's account of Prajapati's detention. Prajapati asserts he was detained on February 6, while official records indicate his formal arrest occurred the following day. The court previously directed the investigating officer to provide relevant CCTV footage, but inconsistencies arose when only footage from the front gate of the police station was presented, despite claims that Prajapati was brought in through the back gate to avoid media attention. The court noted that the police's contradictory statements and lack of documentation regarding the detention raised serious concerns about the fundamental rights of the accused. The DCP has been tasked with ensuring all pertinent evidence is submitted before the next court date on April 4.
