High Court's Swift Justice: ADGP Arrested in Kidnapping Case

The Madras High Court took decisive action on Monday by ordering the arrest of an Assistant Director General of Police (ADGP) involved in a kidnapping case. The directive came shortly after a hearing for MLA M Jagan Moorthy, who had filed for anticipatory bail fearing arrest in the same case.

Justice P Velmurugan was outspoken in his criticism of Moorthy, emphasizing the responsibilities that come with being elected. The judge pointedly reminded Moorthy that his election was meant to serve the public interest, not to permit activities resembling Kangaroo Courts.

The court, seeking accountability and transparency, also instructed the Tamil Nadu police to apprehend ADGP HM Jayaram. The judge underlined that public servants should serve the people responsibly. Further proceedings are scheduled for June 26.
