Arrests in a case under Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocity) Act and other penal provisions are done only if there is evidence to the cognisable offence that is alleged, said Superintendent of Police Rishikesh Sonawane here on Thursday.
In answer to a question during the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes grievance redressal meeting held at his office, Mr. Sonawane said that it is wrong to assume that an accused will be arrested soon after a complaint is filed under the Act. “There should be evidence showing the cognisable offence for an arrest to be made,” he said.
To another question, he said that the police register complaints which point out the commission of a cognisable offence.
