Haryana Rights Panel Reviews Compensation for Custodial Torture Survivor
The Haryana Human Rights Commission is considering recommending monetary compensation for Parvesh Sharma, an 18-year-old illegally rearrested and tortured in custody despite bail. A court declared his arrest illegal, and a departmental inquiry found two police officers guilty, leading to their punishment. While the state has a policy for deaths in custody, it lacks a comprehensive compensation policy for survivors of custodial abuse. The commission has referred the matter to a larger bench to examine compensation provisions.
