Officers at a high-level meeting in Delhi also talked about intelligence sharing on recently stolen vehicles, arms dealers and couriers delivered to unspecified addresses, it is learnt.
Order by district & sessions judge came on a revision petition filed by a station house officer called to assist the court. His lawyer says it disrupted his daily policing duties.
Arora, of the 1988 IPS batch, was appointed chief of the national capital’s police force by the Ministry of Home Affairs Sunday. He took charge Monday.

India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
