In the previous hearing, the High Court had summoned SP Farrukhabad, CO Kaimganj Rajesh Kumar Dwivedi, and the Kaimganj Police Station in-charge.
A habeas corpus petition was filed by Preeti Yadav and two others.
The petition alleges that at around 9:00 pm on September 8, four or five policemen, including station in-charge Anurag Mishra and the CO, forcibly entered the house and detained two family members.
After being held in police custody for a week, they were released at 11 pm on September 14. Before their release, they were made to sign a written statement agreeing not to file any complaints.
