Agartala, September 19,2026: The Tripura High Court has directed the mandatory installation of CCTV cameras in all police stations and outposts across the state to prevent custodial torture and the use of third-degree methods. The order was issued on September 17, 2026, by a division bench comprising Chief Justice M.S. Ramachandra Rao and Justice Bishwajit Palit. The court passed the directive while considering a case involving allegations of sexual abuse and physical torture of Saikat Saha at East Agartala Police Station. The bench also noted that CCTV footage from Airport Police Station was unavailable during another inquiry. Following Supreme Court guidelines in the Paramvir Singh case, cameras must cover entrances, lock-ups, corridors, offices, toilets and other specified areas. Station house officers will be responsible for maintenance.
