BNSS Section 528 | Omnibus Dowry Allegations Against Family Violate Procedural Safeguards: Telangana HC Mandates Prima Facie Case Before Arrest
Telangana High Court rules that naming family members in dowry complaints without specific allegations contravenes BNSS Section 528, requiring investigators to apply Arnesh Kumar guidelines and Section 35(3) BNSS before proceeding. The judgment reinforces that automatic arrests based on generic accusations are illegal, protecting non-primary accused from arbitrary detention.
