How can ordinary citizens have confidence in the system if someone who walks into a police station to make a complaint is chained to a railing and then charged with the offence of obstructing an officer from discharging his duties, the Kerala High Court questioned the police today.
"How will ordinary citizens have confidence in the system? How can people walk into a police station in such a situation?" Justice Devan Ramachandran asked.
