Delhi Police has opposed the plea by Neelam Azad, a key accused in the Parliament Security Breach case, seeking access to a copy of the First Information Report (FIR). The police argue that the FIR, encapsulating crucial details of the ongoing investigation, is of a sensitive nature, and any premature disclosure could compromise the case.
The legal wrangle unfolded on Monday when Neelam Azad`s defense, represented by advocate Suresh Kumar Chaudhary, argued before the Additional Sessions Judge, Dr. Hardeep Kaur. Chaudhary contended that the denial of the FIR violates Neelam`s constitutional rights, leaving the family in the dark about the charges levied against her. The defense also accused the Delhi Police of harassment, asserting that the family`s attempts to obtain information and meet with Neelam during the remand period were met with unwarranted resistance.
