Action against police for using photos publicly without permission
05-Jun-2023 (In Civil Law)
I met with the traffic police, and paid challan behalf of my relative, who was riding a bike without following traffic rules. The police asked to pay the fine and took a group photo in which 2 police officers, the accused and myself were present. The police used the group photo and circulated the message in Whatsapp groups and published in Newspapers. I am not comfortable with publicity. Can I take any action against the police since , they used my photo in media without my permission.
As a responsible citizen of our country you have supported your relative who doesn't follow traffic rules and along with him you have traveled on the bike at that situation here what police officer have done is their duty, you cannot go forward in anyway at this regards.
