The Bombay High Court on Friday ordered the Vakola police station to preserve CCTV footage while hearing the petition of a 25-year-old woman who alleged she was beaten up by women officers inside the police station last month.

A division bench comprising Justice Revati Mohite Dere and Prithiviraj Chavan directed the Vakola police to preserve the footage recorded on the day of the alleged incident and stated that an officer from the police station should be present at the next hearing. The complainant had approached the high court on November 29, stating that she had been illegally detained and physically assaulted by two women cops on November 22.
