‘WhatsApp notice no ground for arrest’: Rajasthan HC holds ASP guilty of contempt
JAIPUR: A notice served solely through WhatsApp cannot be the basis for arrest, the Rajasthan High Court has ruled. In a case where an accused was arrested via a WhatsApp notice, the court has held IPS officer and then Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), Pushpendra Singh Rathore, guilty of contempt of court.
The Court has directed him to appear in person on April 6 for a hearing on the quantum of sentence.
