Rights activists say the provisions can be used to suppress dissent and intimidate political protesters

New Delhi: The Centre on Monday introduced a bill in the Lok Sabha that authorises law-enforcing agencies to collect a wide spectrum of physical and biological samples from people convicted, arrested or merely held in preventive detention, without having to seek a magistrate’s permission.

Rights activists said the provisions could be used to suppress dissent and intimidate political protesters.

The Opposition objected in the House to the tabling of the “unconstitutional” bill and sought a division, which went in the government’s favour by 120 to 58 votes.

Junior home minister Ajay Mishra Teni, whose son Ashis is an accused in the Lakhimpur Kheri massacre, introduced the bill.

“I vehemently oppose the introduction of the bill,” Congress leader of the House Adhir Chowdhury said in the Lok Sabha.

“The law can ask those people who have been convicted by the court to give their biometric measurements but this bill seeks to empower the police and courts to take measurements of undertrials and those suspected to be involved in a case or (where) there is a presumption against a person that he may, in future, commit any illegal act.”

The Criminal Procedure (Identification) Bill, 2022, seeks to repeal the Identification of Prisoners Act, 1920, which allowed a limited range of measurements to be taken from a limited category of people — those convicted of, or arrested in connection with, serious offences.
