Unverified Internal Police Database Report Not Proof of Criminal Involvement | DCP Directed to Verify & Correct Entry : Delhi HC

The Delhi High Court held that an unverified internal police database report, marked for investigative reference only, cannot prove criminal involvement. It directed the DCP to verify and correct the erroneous entry linking the petitioner to an FIR where he was unnamed within four weeks, and barred reliance on the report in court.
