Delhi HC dismisses NEET accused Lokhande’s petition challenging his arrest

Delhi High Court has dismissed the petition filed by Dhananjay Nivrutti Lokhande, accused in the NEET-UG exam paper leak case, challenging his arrest. The court ruled the petition as an abuse of legal process and imposed a cost of ₹25,000. Lokhande argued that he was not provided a copy of the arrest memo, but the court stated that the grounds of arrest were communicated to him post-arrest. The trial court previously rejected his request for a copy of the arrest memo, stating it would be determined during the trial. Lokhande's petition highlighted the lack of detailed documentation regarding his arrest, including no record of the date, time, and place of arrest, nor any communication of the grounds to him or his relatives.
