With the Wadala Truck Terminal (TT) police under the scanner for the alleged custodial death of a 26-year-old youth, it has been discovered that there are no CCTV cameras inside the police station, despite a Supreme Court mandate. According to an SC judgment, every police station must have CCTV cameras to ensure transparency. What's more, no one here knows why the cameras were never installed.

The Wadala TT police station has been in this week over allegation of beating up 26-year-old Vijay Singh in custody, resulting in his death on Monday. Singh was detained by cops over a scuffle he and his cousin engaged in with a couple. Singh was allegedly making sexual advances towards the woman after which the argument ensued. He was brought to the police station where the cops allegedly beat him to death. The investigation of the incident has been assigned to Unit 4 of the crime branch.
