MSHRC Recommends FIR Against Pune Police Over Minors Tied to Vehicle Bonnet
The Maharashtra State Human Rights Commission (MSHRC) has recommended registering a First Information Report against senior Pune police officials, including Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar, over allegations of custodial torture, illegal detention, and publicly parading three minors tied to a police vehicle's bonnet. A fact-finding inquiry detailed police brutality and psychological torture, urging that the investigation be led by an officer of Additional Director General rank or higher. The minors were tied with ropes and paraded as murder suspects in July.
