Haryana Human Rights Commission Orders Probe into Alleged Custodial Torture in Gurugram
The Haryana Human Rights Commission (HHRC) has initiated an independent inquiry into allegations of custodial torture in Gurugram's Sohna area. The case involves Narender, detained under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Arms Act, who claims police officers forced him to draw slips determining his punishment and intentionally fractured his leg. Police allege he was injured attempting to escape custody. The HHRC directed the Haryana DGP to assign a senior officer to investigate, emphasizing that custody must not become a means of torture.
