NEW DELHI: Supreme Court on Friday expressed satisfaction over the way the Delhi Police handled CM Arvind Kejriwal’s agitation, saying it had acted ‘swiftly’ and did what was required.
After going through the affidavit filed by Delhi Police giving details of how it handled the agitation last week, a bench headed by Justice R M Lodha refused to pass any direction against the force, noting that no further action is required to be taken. “Decisions were taken fast and they were not dormant and idle,” the bench said.
