While the prohibition of custodial torture is absolute and it
applies even during war or other emergency situations, the fact is
that custodial torture continues to prevail in today's times of
modernization and globalization. The only thing that has changed
with time is the degree of meticulousness and sophistication with
which it is practiced today. This work analyses custodial violence,
ill-treatment, and crimes committed by the police and armed forces
in India. It analyses custodial violence in the light of the
reports of the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture and Other Cruel,
Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment; Committee against
Torture; European Commission; Asian Human Rights Commissions;
National Human Rights Commission; National Crime Record Bureau;
police journals; international and national NGOs; and other
international standards. Providing a detailed overview of the
Indian police system and examining its structure and functions, the
work critically examines the role and accountability of the police
in India and lays emphasis on the human rights of citizens
referring to the guidelines of the National Human Rights Commission
for the prevention of custodial violence and protection of victims
and their rights.
