New Delhi, 13/8: Police will not be allowed to handcuff everyone who is arrested, as a new bill to replace the CrPC has now sought to consider the nature and gravity of the offence before taking such an action.
The new Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, introduced in Lok Sabha last Friday, seeks to clear the confusion over the Supreme Court direction on using handcuffs, which are often violated resulting in police landing in trouble.
