Summary
It has been emphasized how commonplace torture and deaths in custody are in India's states, irrespective of the organization responsible for the arrest or the ruling political party. Since 1985, Amnesty International has documented 415 deaths in custody of police and security forces, indicating evidence of brutal beatings and torture that resulted in fatalities. The majority of victims are members of vulnerable groups like migrant workers, tribal women, and members of scheduled castes. Judges, journalists, and civil rights activists have all expressed concerns, but no effective government action has followed. The urgent need for change is highlighted by the failure to recognize, address, and prevent torture. To ensure that India upholds human rights principles, international support is essential.
