Devendra Budhia Sent to Two-Day Police Remand After One Month; Police to Recover Mobile Phone and Identify Crime Scene.
Hisar: Devendra Budhia, 58, former president of the All-India Bishnoi Mahasabha and a controversial figure in Haryana politics, was taken into two-day police custody on Monday in connection with a rape case involving a 20-year-old woman from the Bishnoi community. The Hisar court granted the remand on a production warrant based on a petition from Bhiwani's crime branch. Budhia is accused of repeated sexual assault in Chandigarh and Jaipur. Police allege he used his influence under the pretext of helping the woman with IELTS coaching for a planned move to Australia. The state crime bureau arrested him in Jodhpur on June 29, after which he moved into judicial custody initially. The police remand will allow cops to recover the mobile phone that was used allegedly in the crime and to conduct crime scene identification. The district court, Punjab and Haryana high court, as well as the Supreme Court had rejected Budhia's earlier pleas for anticipatory bail. The FIR (first-information report), which Hisar police had filed on Jan 25, suggests that Budhia lured the woman with false promises of academic support, took her to different cities, and raped her repeatedly. She also alleged that he issued death threats to silence her. Legal twist: Remand under new law An earlier attempt by police to seek Budhia's remand on July 14 was rejected by the judicial magistrate, citing procedural limits under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), which do not allow police remand after 15 days of judicial custody. However, the police challenged that decision successfully, arguing that since the FIR was registered after July 1, 2024, the case falls under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), which replaced key sections of the CrPC. The district court accepted the argument and approved the two-day custody. Budhia, who has been embroiled in past political clashes with former MP Kuldeep Bishnoi of the BJP, now faces serious criminal allegations that may test the implementation of India's newly enacted criminal justice code. Police say further action will follow pending forensic and electronic evidence recovery. Caption: Police escorting Devendra Budhia on Monday after securing his custody in Hisar for two days.
