Supreme Court orders police to return a revolver to a private bodyguard who was recently acquitted.
The Supreme Court, in a recent judgment, directed the police to return a revolver to a private bodyguard after the bodyguard was acquitted in a case involving the firearm. The order came after the court found that the confiscation was unwarranted.
The bodyguard, whose name is not disclosed, had his revolver seized by authorities following an investigation into alleged misuse. The court held that the seizure violated the bodyguard’s rights and that the weapon was essential for his professional duties.
The decision underscores the balance between security protocols and individual rights, and it signals that law enforcement must act within legal bounds when handling weapons of private security personnel.
