Just posting from this blog, I don't know if it's true:

The amendment to the CrPC is now the law. The President has signed it. Going forth no person can be arrested under 498A as a whole sale free Lincence. Before arrest any one Police have to get sufficient evidence on records.
The scum infesting the ranks of the Indian police force need to get their gravy elsewhere through some other extortion scheme. This is what the new Home Minister had to say:
“Referring to Section 41 of the Act, Chidambaram said in his letter, “This provision was severely criticized as capable of being misused and, in fact, was being misused.” To substantiate his point, he advised CMs to refer to reports of the Law Commission and the Malimath Committee and also the judgment of the Supreme Court in D K Basu case which laid down guidelines for effecting arrest. “
