Kerala Police collecting the Call Details Register (CDR) of COVID-19 patients, which includes their personal information, is a human rights violation. Patients do not have a criminal history and Covid does not preclude any basic human rights.
The right to privacy is a component of various legal traditions aimed at restricting government and private actions that threaten the privacy of individuals. More than 150 national constitutions mention the right to privacy. It is therefore wrong to give the police the power to invade the privacy of the public. Patients should not be deprived of their privacy.
