The seriousness with which custodial crimes need to be taken by the indian Courts ,is missing .That is the reason that the figures qouted in 2004-2005 , report of National Human Rights Commission of India raise an alarm bell on the sordid affairs in this regard. The NHRC has reported 136 deaths in Police custody and 1357 deaths in Judicial custody in that year,so you can say that EVERY DAY IN INDIA 4 PEOPLE LOOSE THEIR LIVES ,WHILE THEY ARE IN CUSTODY.
Its not only this In Punjab the police officials who even are convicted in custodial crimes and are on bail from he appellate courts ,during their pendency of appeal are posted on duty . One such officer namely Ravinder Kumar Sharma DSP is posted at Bhikhiwind ,while he has been convicted and remained behind the bars for 3 years.So in Punajab such officers are rewarded with plum postings.
