The Delhi high court today warned that it would summon the city's top cop if the police does not follow protocol. "You want me to summon the police commissioner? I can do that," the judge said today.

He was unhappy because the police did not file an affidavit while explaining its stand on whether a CBI investigation should be held on the death of constable Subhash Tomar, who died from the injuries he received at India Gate when protests against the gang rape on a bus turned violent.

Castigating the police, the judge said, "On the last day you did not file a status report, it seems you are not taking the court seriously."
