In an order issued last week, Dr Ashwini Patil, deputy commissioner of police (headquarter), says, "It is observed that the duty officers are unnecessarily arguing with citizens who are doing video recording inside police stations and registering a complaint against them. A police station is a public place, and you are directed not to prohibit citizens from video recording inside the police station."
“The HC had clarified that 'prohibited place' as defined in section 2(8) of the official secrets act, does not cover police station and hence no case can be registered against a citizen for recording inside the police station,” Dr Patil stated.
