Delhi HC restrains police from arresting CRPF jawan

The Delhi High Court has paused the arrest of a CRPF jawan accused of kidnapping, as long as he cooperates with the investigation.
This stay lasts until July 3, and the court wants an update before then.
The order came after the jawan filed a petition challenging his arrest.

TL;DR

Case details

The jawan needs to meet with investigators on June 24. The case centers around a trip to Kashmir with someone he'd been friends with for over a year.
Things got complicated when the alleged victim first said there was no kidnapping or ransom, but later changed his story and claimed abduction—plus, there are WhatsApp messages suggesting a ransom demand.
The jawan has also been missing from duty since June 3.
