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.
