Quick Summary

Vicky @ Vikky Vilas Kamble was arrested in connection with a fraud case but claims his rights were violated. The court agreed, finding issues with his arrest and detention.

Arrest and Allegations

Vicky Kamble was involved in a case registered at the Yerwada police station in Pune. The case began with a complaint by Rajeev Agrawal, who lost over Rs. 47 lakh in a fake investment scheme. Vicky allegedly received Rs. 3.8 lakh as part of this scam.

Violation of Rights

Vicky argued that he wasn't brought before a judge within 24 hours of his arrest, which goes against Article 22(2) of the Indian Constitution and Section 58 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS).

"He was brought before the judge in Pune, 56 hours after his arrest."

Police's Side of the Story

The police claimed Vicky didn't cooperate with their investigation. They said he was arrested on May 28, 2025, and brought to the judge within 24 hours. However, the court found that Vicky was actually held the day before.

Court's Decision

The court, led by Justices Sarang V. Kotwal and Shyam C. Chandak, found the police violated Vicky's rights by not writing down reasons for his arrest after he showed up when asked.

"No written reasons were recorded for the Petitioner’s arrest."

Outcome

The court ordered Vicky's immediate release, highlighting the importance of following the rules during arrests.

This case shows the need for law enforcement to follow proper procedures and protect individual rights.
