Maharashtra government today told the Bombay High Court that it would install CCTVs cameras in 25 police stations across the state by March-end on a pilot basis in view of the increasing number of custodial deaths.

Additional public prosecutor Mankhuvar Deshmukh informed a division bench of Justices V M Kanade and Revati Mohite Dere that bids have been allotted and work orders will be issued within a week and by the end of March cameras will be fitted in all the rooms of 25 police stations. This will be implemented in other police stations as well.
