Upholding the trial court's conviction order against Satish Chandra, posted as sub-inspector at Vasant Kunj police station at the time of the incident, the court dismissed his appeal and directed to take him to custody forthwith.

“I am of the view that the appeal is without merit and hence, consequently deserves to be dismissed... Resultantly, the accused shall be taken into custody forthwith," the court said, while rejecting the judgements cited by Chandra to defend himself in the case.
