Allahabad HC Slams Police for 'Filmy' FIR Language, Cites 'You Are Surrounded' Dialogue
•Allahabad High Court's Lucknow bench criticized police for using 'filmy script' language in FIRs.
•The court objected to dialogues like 'You are surrounded by the police, surrender' in an FIR from Bahraich.
•The FIR, filed against Akbar Ali for cow slaughter, had a major time discrepancy: incident at 10:45 AM, but accused allegedly said 'It is about to get light'.
•The bench called this a 'serious factual contradiction' indicating abuse of law, making the FIR liable to be quashed.
•SP Bahraich directed to file a personal affidavit within two weeks; failure to comply will require personal appearance.
