520			_aAlthough there are many constitutional and statutory provisions in place to protect the liberty and life of all persons, incidents of torture and death in police custody seem to be a common occurrence. There is no doubt that these are the most heinous crimes committed by persons, who claim to be the protectors of people. What is distressing is that the incidents of torture and death take place under the shield of uniforms and authority, within the four walls of a police station or in the lock-up, where the victims are helpless and there is no direct evidence of such crimes. Generally, it is difficult in cases of torture in custody and custodial death to secure evidence against policemen responsible since they are in charge of police station records which they do not find difficult to manipulate. As such the present paper examines the situation in the light of law and practices.- Reproduced http://www.iipabiharbranch.org/upload/BJPA_Vol.%20XXI%20No.%201(S)%20Jan-June.%202024.pdf
