Acting on the orders of the High Court (HC), Mumbai Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria has issued a strict order to senior inspectors, asking for CCTV cameras to be installed in every room, lock-up and corridor of every police station in the city at the earliest. He has also asked for footage to be preserved for at least a year.

An officer said women often falsely accuse policemen of calling them to police stations at night. He said the CCTV cameras would help cops in such cases. Representation pic
