TORTURE CHAMBERS OF INDIA
They are our own Gitmos. Where, far away from the eyes of the law, 'enemies of
the state' are made to 'sing'. THE WEEK investigates
By Syed Nazakat
Little Terrorist, as the intelligence sleuths came to call him, turned out to be
a hard nut to crack. No amount of torture would work on 20-year-old Mohammed
Issa, who was picked up from Delhi on February 5, 2006. The Delhi Police
believed that he had a hotline to Lashkar-e-Toiba deputy chief Zaki-ur-Rehman
Lakhwi, who later masterminded the 26/11 attack on Mumbai. At a secret detention
centre in Delhi, the police and intelligence officers tried every single torture
method in their arsenal-from electric shock to sleep deprivation-to make Issa
sing. He stuck to his original line: that he had come from Nepal to visit a
relative in Delhi. Only, they refused believe him.
According to the police, the youth from Uttar Pradesh, who had moved to Nepal in
2000 along with his family after his father, Irfan Ahmed, was accused in a
terrorism case, returned to India to set up Lashkar modules in the national
capital. More than six months after he was picked up, the police announced his
arrest on August 14. He has since been shifted to the Tihar jail. His lawyer
N.D. Pancholi said Issa was kept in illegal custody for months. If not, let the
police say where he was between February 5 and August 15, he challenged.
Issa could have been detained in any of Delhi's joint interrogation centres,
used by the police and intelligence agencies to extract precious information
from the detainees using methods frowned upon by the law. As one top police
officer told THE WEEK in the course of our investigation, these torture chambers
spread across the country are our "precious assets". They are our own little
Guantanamo Bays or Gitmos (where the US tortures terror suspects from
Afghanistan and elsewhere for information).
Not many admit their existence, because doing so could result in human rights
activists knocking at their doors and bad press for the smartly dressed
intelligence men. It is a murky and dangerous world, according to K.S.
Subramanian, Tripura's former director-general of police, who has also served in
the Intelligence Bureau. "Such sites exist and are being used to detain and
interrogate suspected terrorists and it has been going on for a long time," he
told THE WEEK. "Even senior police officers are reluctant to talk about the
system." So are people who have been to these virtual hells that officially do
not exist.
THE WEEK has identified 15 such secret interrogation centres-three each in
Mumbai, Delhi, Gujarat and Jammu and Kashmir, two in Kolkata and one in Assam.
(One detention centre that is shared by all security and law enforcement
agencies is in Palanpur, Gujarat.) Their locations have been arrived at after
speaking to serving and retired top officers who had helped set up some of these
facilities. Those who have spent time in these places had no idea where they
are. They were taken blindfolded and were allowed no visitors. The only faces
they got to see were those of the interrogators, day in and day out.
The biggest of the three detention centres in Mumbai, the Aarey Colony facility
in Goregaon, has four rooms. The Anti-Terrorism Squad questioned Saeed Khan
(name changed), one of the accused in the Malegaon blasts of September 2006,
here. He was served food at irregular intervals (led to temporary
disorientation) and was denied sleep. Another secret detention centre maintained
in the city by the ATS at Kalachowky has a sound-proof room. Sohail Shaikh,
accused in the July 2006 train bombings, was held here for close to two months.
"He was kept in isolation for days together," said an officer. "He crumbled
after being subjected to hostile sessions. Intentional infliction of suffering
does not always yield immediate results. Sometimes you have to wait for many
days for the detainee to break. It is a tedious process." The smallest of the
three facilities at Chembur has just two rooms.
Parvez Ahmed Radoo, 30, of Baramulla district in Kashmir, was illegally detained
in Delhi for over a month for allegedly trying to plot mass murder in the
national capital on behalf of the Jaish-e-Mohammed. The Delhi Police's
chargesheet says he was arrested from the Azadpur fruit market in Delhi on
October 14, 2006. But according to Parvez's flight itinerary, he travelled from
Srinagar to Delhi on September 12 on SpiceJet flight 850. The flight landed at
Delhi airport at 12.10 p.m. He had to catch another flight at 1.30 p.m.
(SpiceJet flight 217) to Pune, where, according to his parents, he was going to
pursue his Ph.D. But he never boarded the Pune flight as he disappeared from the
Delhi airport.
Parvez wrote an open letter from the Tihar jail, where he is currently held, in
which he said he was arrested from the airport on September 12 and kept in
custody for a month. Apparently, he was first taken to the Lodhi Colony police
station and then to an apartment in Dwarka, where electrodes were attached to
his genitals and power was switched on. (Delhi's secret detention centres are
located at Dwarka in south-west Delhi, the Inter-state Cell of the Crime Branch
in Chanakyapuri in central Delhi, and the Lodhi Colony police station in south
Delhi.)
"After my arrest on September 12, I was taken to Pune, where I was shown
pictures of many Kashmiri boys," Parvez said in the letter. "They wanted me to
identify them. As I didn't know any one of them, they brought me to Delhi again
and threw me into the torture chamber of Lodhi Road [sic] police station. They
took off my clothes and started beating me like an animal, so ruthlessly that my
feet and fingers started bleeding. I was later forced to clean the blood-stained
floor with my underwear. They gave me electric shocks and stretched my legs to
extreme limits, resulting in internal haemorrhage. I started passing blood with
my urine and stool. Later I was shifted to one flat near Delhi airport [he later
identified the place as Dwarka]. From the adjacent flats, voices of crying and
screaming had been coming, indicating presence of other persons being tortured."
Throughout his detention, wrote Parvez, he was asked to lie to his parents that
everything was fine. In the letter he also gave the mobile number from which the
calls were made-9960565152. His family is trying to collect the call site
details of the number to prove his illegal detention.
Delhi-based journalist Iftikhar Geelani, who spent nine days in the Lodhi Colony
police station after his arrest in 2002 on spying charges, is yet to get over
the traumatic experience. "There are lock-ups with such low ceilings that a
person will not be able to stand," he said. "There is an interrogation centre
within the police station where people are brutally tortured with cables, and
some are completely undressed and abused. They also have a facility to raise the
temperature of the cell to a point where it is unbearable and then suddenly
bring it down to freezing cold."
Assistant Commissioner Rajan Bhagat, spokesman for the Delhi Police, denied the
existence of such facilities. "Nobody ever asked me the question [about secret
detention centres]," he said. "We don't operate any such facility in our police
stations."
But Maloy Krishna Dhar, former joint director of the IB, confirmed the existence
of secret detention centres in Delhi and other parts of the country. He was
convinced that detention outside the police station and torture are an
inevitable part of the war on terrorism. "Now I would never dream of doing the
things I did when I was in charge," said Dhar. "But security agencies need such
facilities." Interrogating suspected terrorists at secret detention centres, he
said, is the most effective way to gather intelligence. "If you produce a
suspect before court, he will never give you anything after that," he said. In
other words, once you record the arrest you are within the realm of the law and
you have to acknowledge the rights of the accused-arrested and contend with his
lawyer.
An officer who worked in one of the detention centres admitted that extreme
physical and psychological torture, based loosely on the regime in Guantanamo
Bay, is used to extract information from the detainees. It includes assault on
the senses (pounding the ear with loud and disturbing music) and sleep
deprivation, keeping prisoners naked to degrade and humiliate them, and forcibly
administering drugs through the rectum to further break down their dignity. "The
interrogators isolate key operatives so that the interrogator is the only person
they see each day," he said. "In extreme cases we use pethidine injections. It
will make a person crazy."
Molvi Iqbal from Uttar Pradesh, a suspected member of the
Harkat-ul-Jihadi-Islami who is currently lodged in Tihar, was held at a secret
detention centre for two months according to his relatives. They alleged that
during interrogation a chip was implanted under his skin so that his movements
could be tracked if he tried to escape. "He fears that the chip is still inside
his skin," said one of his relatives. "That has shattered him."
Kolkata has its own Gitmos in Bhabani Bhawan, now the headquarters of the
Criminal Investigation Department, and the Alipore Retreat in Tollygunj, a
bungalow that is said to have 20 rooms. They were bursting at the seams at the
height of the Naxalite movement, but are more or less quiet now. "A large number
of innocent people, as well as suspected terrorists, have disappeared after
being taken to such secret detention centres," said Kirity Roy, a Kolkata-based
human rights lawyer. "Their bodies would later be found, if at all, in the
fields."
That was how militancy was tackled, first in Punjab and then in Kashmir. Today
no secret prison exists in Kashmir officially after the notorious Papa-2
interrogation centre was closed down. But secret torture cells thrive across the
state. The most notorious ones are the Cargo Special Operation Group (SOG) camp
in Haftchinar area in Srinagar and Humhama in Budgam district. Then there are
the joint interrogation centres in Khanabal area of Anantnag district and Talab
Tillo and Poonch areas in Jammu region. Detentions at JICs could last months.
Lawyers in Kashmir have filed 15,000 petitions since 1990 seeking the
whereabouts of the detainees and the charges against them without avail.
The most recent victim of the torture regime was Manzoor Ahmed Beigh, 40, who
was picked by the SOG from Alucha Bagh area in Srinagar on May 18. His family
alleged that he was chained up, hung upside down from the ceiling and ruthlessly
beaten up. He died the same night. Following public outrage, the officer in
charge of the camp was dismissed from the service in June.
Maqbool Sahil, a Srinagar-based photojournalist who was held at Hariniwas
interrogation centre for 15 days, says it is a miracle that he is alive today.
"If you tell them [interrogators] you are innocent, they will torture you so
ruthlessly that you will break down and confess to anything," he says.
Human rights organisations are understandably concerned. Navaz Kotwal,
coordinator of the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative, said that there should
be an open debate on the illegal detention centres. "The US had a debate on the
Gitmos. Our government should come forward and respond to these allegations,"
she said.
No one wants to compromise the nation's safety, but the torture becomes
unbearable, and questionable, when innocent people like the 14-year-old boy
Irfan suffer (see box on page 30). The security of the country and its people is
important and terrorism should be crushed at all cost. But the largest democracy
in the world should also ensure that human rights are not violated.
Dhar defended the secret prison system, arguing that the successful defence of
the country required that the security establishment be empowered to hold and
interrogate suspected terrorists for as long as necessary and without
restrictions imposed by the legal system. "The primary mission of the agencies
is to save the nation both by overt and covert means from any terrorist threat,"
he said. "But to keep the programme secret is a horrible burden."

Forty secret interrogation cells unveil real face of India [The Nation] 05 Jul,
2009
Worlds oldest democracy United States may have been forced to close Guantanamo
Bay detention centre, but the largest democracy India runs 40 such secret
chambers across the country, where suspects are subjected to extreme
interrogation for months and years.
A leading news magazine The Week in its forthcoming issue, accessed by KT News
Service (KTNS), revealed the horror of torture chambers, far from the eyes of
law.
The investigating team of the magazine identified 15 secret interrogation
centres-three each in Mumbai, Delhi, Gujarat and Jammu and Kashmir, two in
Kolkatta and one in Assam. Officials admit that there could be more and roughly
put their numbers at 40. In Palanpur region of Gujarat all security agencies
share one detention centre, the magazine report said. It maintained that mostly
suspects were brought blindfolded so they could hardly pinpoint the place,
adding, the only faces they got to see were those of the interrogators.
The magazine quoted Parvez Ahmed Radoo, 30, of Baramulla district, a student in
Pune University, who was illegally detained in Delhi, as saying that he, in his
open letter, from notorious Tihar jail, wrote that electrodes were attached to
his genitals and power was switched on during interrogation in the centre.
A large number of innocent people, as well as suspected terrorists, have
disappeared after being taken to such secret detention centres, said Kirity Roy,
a Kolkata-based human rights lawyer.
The report further said that in Kashmir, there were many interrogation centres
like the Cargo Special Operation Group (SOG) camp in Haftchinar area in Srinagar
and Humhama in Budgam district.
There are the joint interrogation centres in Khanabal area of Islamabad district
and Talab Tillo in Jammu and one in Poonch.
It said that the lawyers in Kashmir had filed 15,000 petitions since 1990
seeking the whereabouts of the detainees and the charges against them without
avail.
The most recent victim of the torture regime was Manzoor Ahmed Beigh, 40, who
was picked by the SOG from Aloochi Bagh area in Srinagar on May 18. His family
said that he was chained up, hung upside down from the ceiling and ruthlessly
beaten up.
He died the same night.
Quoting KS Subramanian, former Director General of Indian police who had also
served in the Intelligence Bureau, the report said that these sites existed and
were being used to detain and interrogate suspects and it had been going on for
a long time.
An officer, who worked in one of the detention centres admitted that extreme
physical and psychological torture, based loosely on the regime in Guantanamo
Bay, was used to extract information from the detainees.
It included assault on the senses like sleep deprivation, keeping prisoners
naked to degrade and humiliate them, and forcibly administering drugs through
the rectum to further break down their dignity.
CRIMINALS IN POLICE UNIFORM
- An appeal to union home minister & Karnataka state home minister
The ABC of police force in India is apathy ,
brutality & corruption . in India, police are not impartially enforcing
law instead are working as hand maidens of rich & mighty. The corrupt
police officers are collecting protection money from criminals ,
collecting money to go slow on investigations , to file B- reports , to
fix innocents in fake cases , to murder innocents in lock-up /
encounters . they are hand in league with land mafia , today C.M of
Karnataka himself issued a warning to police officials about this.
Even in lock-ups , jails, the rich inmates bribe
officials get better food from outside , mobile phones , drugs , drinks
, cigareetes , etc. they get spacious cells & get best private medical
care . where as the poor inmates are even denied food , health care ,
living space as per the provisions of law. The corrupt jail officials
instigate rowdy elements in the jails to assault poor inmates & to toe
their line. More corrupt the police more wealthier he is. Even CBI
officials are no different. The only beacon of hope is still there are
few honest people left in the police force.
Hereby , e-voice urges you to make public the following
information in the interest of justice.
1.how many CBI officials & Karnataka state police officials are facing
charges of corruption , 3rd degree torture , lock-up/encounter deaths
, rapes , fake cases , etc ?
2.how you are monitoring the ever increasing wealth of corrupt police
officials?
3.how many officials from the ranks of constable to DGP have amassed
illegal wealth?
4.what action you have taken in these cases ? have you got
reinvestigated all the cases handled by tainted police?
5.how many policemen have been awarded death penalty & hanged till
death , for cold blooded murders in the form of lock-up deaths /
encounter deaths ?
6.why DGP of Karnataka is not registering my complaint dt 10/12/2004 ,
subsequent police complaints ?
is it because rich & mighty are involved ?
7.e - voice is ready to bring to book corrupt police officials subject to
conditions, are you ready ?
8.how many police personnel are charged with violations of people's
human rights & fundamental rights ?
9.how many STF police deployed to nab veerappan were themselves
charged with theft of forest wealth?
10.how you are ensuring the safety , health , food , living space of
inmates in jails?
11.how you are ensuring the medical care , health of prisoners in
hospitals & mental asylums?
12.How you are ensuring the safety , health , food , living space of
inmates in juvenile homes ?
TORTURE CHAMBERS OF INDIA - 3RD DEGREE TORTURE PERPETRATED BY POLICE IN INDIA - Gross violations of human rights by police
Aeroplane is the most cruelest form of 3rddegree torture perpetrated by police on suspects. Many innocent people have confessed to crimes hey have not at all committed unable to bear the torture , pain. Many innocents have been murdered in lock-ups by police during these type of 3rd degree torture. Even if we go by the logic of police that criminals only sing under torture & they rightly deserve it , when a petty criminal stealing Rs.10000 is fit for “AEROPLANE TORTURE” , what about criminals stealing crores of rupees , what about corrupt police who aid tens of such big time criminals by filing B-report , by putting weak case of prosecution , by delaying tactics allowing for destruction of evidences , etc , what about judges who acquits big time criminals , who give judicial orders while they are in a drunken state , who acquit big criminals by conducting hearings even on dates of government holidays (concocted). ARE NOT THESE CORRUPT POLICE & JUDGES FIT FOR “BUSINESS CLASS AEROPLANE RIDE TORTURE as per the same logic of police.
At the outset , e - Voice salutes the few honest police personnel who are
silently doing their duties inspite of pressures , harassment by
political bosses & corrupt superiors , inspite of frequent transfers ,
promotion holdups , etc. overcoming the lure of bribe ,those few are
silently doing their duties without any publicity or fanfare. we salute
them & pay our respects to them and hereby appeal to those few honest
to catch their corrupt colleagues.
The police are trained , to crack open the cases of crimes by just
holding onto a thread of clue. Based on that clue they investigate like
"Sherlock holmes" and apprehend the real criminals. nowadays , when
police are under various pressures , stresses - they are frequently
using 3rd degree torture methods on innocents. Mainly there are 3
reasons for this :
1) when the investigating officer (I.O) lacks the brains of Sherlock
holmes , to cover-up his own inefficiency he uses 3rd degree torture on
innocents.
2) When the I.O is biased towards rich , powerful crooks , to frame
innocents & to extract false confessions from them , 3rd degree torture
is used on innocents.
3) When the I.O is properly doing the investigations , but the
higher-ups need very quick results - under work stress I.O uses 3rd
degree torture on innocents.
Nowhere in statuette books , police are legally authorized to punish
let alone torture the detainees / arrested / accussed / suspects. Only
the judiciary has the right to punish the guilty not the police. Even
the judiciary doesn't have the right to punish the accussed /
suspects , then how come police are using 3rd degree torture unabetted.
Even during encounters , police only have the legal right , authority
to immobilize the opponents so as to arrest them but not to kill them.
There is a reasoning among some sections of society & police that use
of 3RD DEGREE TORTURE by police is a detterent of crimes. It is false
& biased. Take for instance there are numerous scams involving 100's
of crores of public money - like stock scam , fodder scam , etc
involving rich businessmen , VVIP crooks. Why don't police use 3rd
degree torture against such rich crooks and recover crores of public
money where as the police use 3rd degree torture against a
pick-pocketer to recover hundred rupees stolen ? double standards by
police.
In media we have seen numerous cases of corrupt police officials in
league with criminals. For the sake of bribe , such police officials
bury cases , destroy evidences , go slow , frame innocents , murder
innocents in the name of encounter , etc. why don't police use 3rd
degree torture against their corrupt colleagues who are aiding
criminals , anti nationals ? double standards by police.
All the bravery of police is shown before poor , innocents , tribals ,
dalits , before them police give the pose of heroes. Whereas , before
rich , VVIP crooks , they are zeroes. They are simply like scarecrows
before rich crooks.
Torture in any form by anybody is inhuman & illegal. For the purpose of
investigations police have scientific investigative tools like
polygraph, brain mapping , lie detector , etc. these scientific tools
must be used against rich crooks & petty criminals without bias.
Hereby we urge the GOI & all state governments :
1) to book cases of murder against police personnel who use 3rd degree
torture on detainees and kill detainees in the name of encounter
killings.
2) To dismiss such inhuman , cruel personnel from police service and to
forfeit all monetary benefits due to them like gratuity , pension ,
etc.
3) To pay such forfeited amount together with matching government
contribution as compensation to family of the victim's of 3rd degree
torture & encounter killings.
4) To review , all cases where false confessions were extracted from
innocents by 3rd degree torture.
5) To make liable the executive magistrate of the area , in whose
jurisdiction torture is perpetrated by police on innocents.
6) To make it incumbent on all judicial magistrates ,to provide a
torture free climate to all parties , witnesses in cases before his
court.
7) To make public the amount & source of ransom money paid to forest
brigand veerappan to secure the release of matinee idol mr. raj kumar.
8) To make public justice A.J.Sadashiva's report on "torture of
tribals , human rights violations by Karnataka police in M.M.HILLS ,
KARNATAKA".
9) To make it mandatory for police to use scientific tools of
investigations like brain mapping , polygraph , etc without bias
against suspects rich or poor.
10) To include human rights education in preliminary & refresher
training of police personnel.
11) To recruit persons on merit to police force who have aptitude &
knack for investigations.
12) To insulate police from interference from politicians & superiors.
13) To make police force answerable to a neutral apex body instead of
political bosses. Such body must be empowered to deal with all service
matters of police.
14) The political bosses & the society must treat police in a humane
manner and must know that they too have practical limitations. Then on
a reciprocal basis , police will also treat others humanely.
15) The police must be relieved fully from the sentry duties of biggies
& must be put on detective , investigative works.
Nowadays , we are seeing reports of corruption by police & judges in the media
and are also seeing reports of raids by vigilance authorities seizing crores of
wealth from such corrupt police. Some Judges have also amassed crores of wealth.
Who gives them money ? it is rich criminals , anti-nationals . By taking bribe &
hiding the crimes of criminals , the corrupt police & judges are themselves
becoming active parties in the crimes , anti-national activities. Those
shameless , corrupt police & judges are nothing but traitors & anti – nationals
themselves. When an innocent is subjected to 3rd degree torture to extract truth
with justification by investigating agencies that all for the sake of national
security , what degree of torture these corrupt , anti-national police & judges
qualify for ? what type of aeroplane or helicopter the corrupt police / judges
must ride ? ofcourse , for protection of national security. Here also police &
judges have double standards , what a shame.
We at e – voice are for "Rule of Law" & abhor all type of violence. Truly these
police & judges are not building a Ram Rajya of our Mahatma Gandhi's dream.
Jai Hind. Vande Mataram.
Your's sincerely,
Nagaraj.M.
Custodial death
As more horrifying details tumble out in Kerala custodial death case, 2 cops held
While the autopsy showed shocking details of custodial torture, including use of Falanga, investigation has also revealed that the cops had rubbed chill on Rajkumar’s private parts.
On Wednesday, the Crime Branch special team inquiring into the custodial torture and death of 49-year-old Rajkumar, a remand prisoner in a financial fraud case in Idukki, arrested two policemen. The arrested officers are former Nedumkandam SI KA Sabu and civil police officer Sajeev Antony.
The arrests are based on the custodial torture meted out to Rajkumar inside the Nedumkandam police station from June 12 to 15, Crime Branch special team officials said. After he was arrested, the SI collapsed and has been admitted to the Kottayam Medical College.
“The arrested policemen admitted the custodial torture, they revealed that they had tortured Rajkumar to recover the money,” said Crime Branch sources. According to the police, Rajkumar had cheated 34 self-help groups after taking money from them.
On Tuesday, the Crime Branch special team revealed that policemen in the Nedumkandam station rubbed Kantari mulagu (a type of chilli) on Rajkumar’s private parts. Apart from this, the policemen did not allow Rajkumar to sleep during the four days he was in their custody, said Crime Branch sources.
Meanwhile, Manju, third accused in the financial fraud case, on Wednesday said she had no connection with the Nedumkandam based Haritha Finance. “Only Rs 20 lakh were collected from others on the banner of the financial institution. Rajkumar managed all the financial dealings in the company. The collected money was handed over to a Malappuram native named Nasar every day at Kumily,” she said.
Kasthuri Bhavanil Rajkumar (49), a resident of Kolahalamedu in Idukki, who was arrested in a financial fraud case on June 12, was in the custody at the Nedumkandam police before he was produced in the Magisterial Court only on June 16. Rajkumar, who was admitted to the taluk hospital at Peermedu on June 21, died there on the same day.
To inquire into the custodial death, the government formed a seven-member Crime Branch team last week. The officials said they will submit an interterm report on the custodial death within two days. As part of disciplinary action, the government suspended eight policemen and transferred five others attached to the Nedumkandam police station.
The deceased’s autopsy report also revealed shocking details of custodial torture Rajkumar experienced at the hands of the police.
Meanwhile, another alleged custodial torture by the Nedumkandam police has come to light. Nedumkandam resident Hakkim, an accused in a family dispute case, on Tuesday revealed that he was tortured at the station and that he was there when Rajkumar was in custody.
Following a family dispute, Hakkim was summoned to the Nedumkandam police station on June 15. “The police attacked me brutally inside the police station without any provocation. I heard cries of someone in the lock-up and suspect that it was Rajkumar,” Hakkim claimed.
“When I was being beaten up, I was holding on to the lock-up bars in the police station. When I was continuously struck, the bars bent due to the impact. Then the police threatened me that if I didn’t repair the bars they would file a non-bailable case against me. My mother had to then get it repaired,” Hakkim said.
22 injuries, 'Falanga' torture used: Shocking autopsy of Kerala custodial death victim
Rajkumar was so weak that he could not walk to the court, but a magistrate walked to his jeep and placed him in judicial custody.
Over a week after the death of 49-year old Rajkumar, a remand prisoner in Idukki, the deceased’s autopsy report reveals shocking details of custodial torture he experienced at the hands of the police.
TNM accessed the autopsy report which highlights 22 injuries across Rajkumar’s body. Four of his ribs were also fractured apart from his sternum. Contusions detected on the soles of his feet indicate that Rajkumar was subjected to the infamous Falanga torture which involves continuously beating the soles of the victim’s feet. This was mentioned in the autopsy report.
A native of Kolahalamedu in Vagamon who was accused in a financial fraud case, Rajkumar was picked up for questioning by the Nedukandam police on June 12, according to his relatives. However, his arrest was recorded only on June 16, 4 days after he was taken into custody.
While the post mortem mentions that pneumonia was the cause of death, it clearly states that the victim had suffered blunt force injuries.
Multiple media reports also allege that the deceased had been denied drinking water and this had deteriorated his health condition. According to a Manorama report which quoted a fellow inmate at the Peermedu sub jail where Rajkumar was remanded, the deceased was seen begging for water and collapsing. Rajkumar’s relatives too have repeated this allegation.
“He had said that his hands and legs were hurting and requested for some water. But the officers said that he did not need to drink water now. This is what his fellow inmate had witnessed and he even spoke to the media about this,” said Antony, Rajkumar’s relative.
Speaking to TNM, Rajkumar’s relatives had earlier said that he was beaten up for hours in his house where he was questioned before being taken into custody.
“He was beaten up badly in his house while the police came to question him on the 12. On June 15, he was taken to the Nedukandam hospital as he complained of chest pain. The doctor there referred him to the Kottayam Medical college hospital as he had a lot of injuries. However, instead of taking him there, the officers took him to the magistrate instead and remanded him to Peermedu sub jail. He was brought to the jail at 1:20 am and he died 5 days later on June 21,”said Antony, a relative.
On June 15, an extremely weak Rajkumar was produced before the Idukki magistrate where he was remanded to the Peermedu sub jail. .
Following the post mortem report, the Kerala High Court has now intervened and ordered a probe against the Idukki magistrate, Reshmi Raveendran, for remanding the deceased despite him being extremely physically weak. The court has asked for a detailed report from the magistrate on the incident.
“He was so weak he could not walk to the court and the magistrate had to come to the police vehicle to take his statement. Even after that he was remanded to judicial custody,” added Antony.
Rajkumar breathed his last on June 21 while being admitted at Peermedu Taluk Hospital.
A total of 8 police officers have now been suspended from the force following investigations into his death. The suspended officers include SI KA Sabu, ASI CB Rejimon, drivers Niyas and Sajimon, writer Roy P Varghese, assistant writer Syamkumar and senior civil police offices Biju Lukose and Santhosh.
A special investigation team of the Crime Branch has been formed to probe the custodial death
Editorial : Hang Corrupt Police & Corrupt Judges
- An Appeal to Honourable Supreme Court of India & Honourable National Human Rights Commisssion
At the outset , our salutes to honest few left in police & judiciary. It is an appeal to them to catch & legally prosecute their corrupt, cruel , inhuman colleagues.
Many times police summon ordinary public to police stations without any official written summons , will be illegally detained orelse they are shifted to other inaccessible locations for interrogations. In few cases when the detainee dies due to 3rd degree torture , body is thrown out. Nobody can pin police for such crimes , it will be booked as a murder by unknown persons.
In lock up death cases the whole police force , government officials including doctors work like a mafia in destroying evidences , threatening witnesses all to cover up crimes of police. example below mentioned Uday Kumar Lock up death in Kerala.
Hereby we request Honourable SCI & NHRC to constitute enquiry committee consisting members of NGOs , local public to probe lock up death cases and to award capital punishment to such police officials. Also , properties of such police officials must be attached and compensation paid to victim’s family. The guilty police official’s family members must not enjoy luxurious lifestyle out of ill gotten money of police.
2 police officers get death for Udayakumar’s murder

Two Kerala policemen get death for custodial death, three get rigorous imprisonment
The court had convicted these five for the custodial death of a 26-year-old man at the police station in September 2005
Thiruvananthapuram: A CBI Special Court here on Wednesday sentenced to death two policemen and three others to rigorous imprisonment for three years in a case of custodial torture and death 13 years ago.
Those handed out capital punishment include Constables K. Jithukumar and S.V. Sreekumar, who had detained Udayakumar who later died in custody.
Those found guilty of conspiracy and destroying evidence are then Sub-Inspector Ajith Kumar, Circle Inspector E.K. Sabu and then Assistant Commissioner of Police K. Haridas.
The court on Tuesday had convicted these five for the custodial death of the 26-year-old man at the Fort police station in September 2005.
Police had detained two friends, Udayakumar and Suresh Kumar, on the charge of theft. When Udayakumar was let off later, policemen were irked when he asked for Rs 4,000 taken from his pocket by the police while he was in custody. He was brutally tortured with an iron rod, following which he died.
Udayakumar's mother Prabhavathi Amma had approached the Kerala High Court for a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation.
"This is the best news I am hearing," she told the media as she broke down.
"Justice has been finally delivered to my son and me. It should serve as a lesson to all policemen never to use force against people. Such fate (her son's) should never befall anyone again," she added.
“It was just before the Onam festival that my son was brutally killed by these policemen. And see, Onam is now round the corner... just as my son could not eat his Onam meal then, these policemen will not be able to eat theirs this time," the aged woman said
Even as Udayakumar killers get death, Sreejith still fights outside Kerala Secretariat
News media as well as social media called it justice for Udayakumar’s mother after 13 long years. But one young man sitting outside the Kerala secretariat disagrees..
People in Kerala woke up on Thursday morning to pictures of Prabhavathi Amma in the front pages of all major newspapers. The 67-year-old was in tears after a CBI special court sentenced two policemen to death, for the custodial murder of her son in 2005.
News media as well as social media called it justice for the mother after 13 long years. But one young man sitting outside the Kerala secretariat disagrees.
Sreejith, who has been sitting in protest for 957 days now, asks, “How can you call it justice when it took 13 years to come out with a verdict?”
Sreejith's brother Sreejeev, too, was a victim of custodial violence – in 2014. “For a mother, the loss of her son cannot be replaced by anything. I don’t think she will feel any happiness even if the guilty are punished," says Sreejith.
In January this year, following a social media storm, Sreejith was able to gain massive support from different corners of the state. While common people marched for him on the streets of Kerala, actors like Nivin Pauly, Parvathy and Tovino Thomas also spoke up for him.
Speaking about all the support that seems to have died down now, Sreejith says, “It was something I didn’t call for. It picked up by itself.”
“Even as thousands gathered to support me, there were certain groups of people who were trying to hijack the cause and to take it away from me,” he adds.
Sreejith fears that these were people who were closely associated with the police and the people in power.
“Just last month, I had filed a complaint with the CM of Kerala saying that if people who are responsible for the murder of my brother are not brought under the law before my protest reaches 1000 days, then I will stage a fast unto death,” says Sreejith.
Sreejith also says that for the first time since he had started protesting, he would like the people of the state to stand by him.
“Earlier this year, people of the state came together for me without me requesting them to do so. But right now, I desperately need the support of the people,” he says.
Though the CBI started investigating the case this year after tremendous public pressure forced the Kerala government to approach the agency, Sreejith resumed his strike after his statement was recorded by CBI.
In his 957 days of protest, Sreejith has gone on a hunger strike many times and he tells TNM that he’s been on a hunger strike for the past 4 days.
Sreejeev's death
Sreejith’s brother Sreejeev was taken into custody by the Parassala police on allegations of theft in May 2014. Days after this, Sreejeev died in a hospital. While police officials maintain that Sreejeev consumed poison, his family accused the officers of murder.
In 2016, the Police Complaint Authority investigation found that his death was indeed caused by custodial torture and that the police version of the event was false.

Q&A – Honourable Chief Justice of India
https://sites.google.com/site/dalitoonline/q-a---honourable-cji
Almost 900 judicial custody deaths recorded in 2017, reveals RTI: Maharashtra tops chart of deaths in police lock-ups
A total of 894 deaths in judicial custody — and 74 deaths in police custody — have been recorded in India in 2017, an RTI response to Firstpost revealed.
The letter, signed by the joint registrar (Law) of the National Human Rights Commission, stated that Uttar Pradesh leads the chart of deaths in judicial custody by a significant margin, with 204 deaths recorded in the period between 1 January, 2017 and 2 August, 2017. The state was followed by Punjab with 76 deaths and Bihar with 64 deaths.
Uttar Pradesh, however, has a history of consistently topping the charts of judicial custody deaths in the country.
Uttar Pradesh Inspector General of Police (Prisons) Pramod Kumar Mishra blamed the statistics on the high number of prisoners registered in the state's prisons. "We have over 95,000 inmates in our jails, which is way more than the number in any other state. When you count the deaths per ten thousand prisoners, I don't think we will stand out as much," he said.
"One cannot see the numbers in isolation; you have to put it in perspective. We have 22 crore people in Uttar Pradesh — you cannot compare us with Kerala which has 3.5 crore people," Additional Director General (ADG) of Uttar Pradesh Police Anand Kumar said, adding that the subject does not come directly under his jurisdiction. "I am not contesting the numbers given by NHRC, but in a populous state like Uttar Pradesh, a lot of these deaths might have also happened due to natural causes," he said.
ADG Bhushan Kumar Upadhyay of Maharashtra Police says that the numbers were worse before. "With better medical facilities, counselling sessions, and marking prisoners with suicidal tendencies, we are trying to bring the number of deaths in prisons down to a minimum," he said.
Of the 74 deaths in police custody in 2017, Maharashtra leads the tables with 16 deaths recorded until 2 August, 2017. Telangana comes a distant second with 7 deaths, while Karnataka recorded a third-highest 5 deaths in police custody this year.
A senior police official with the Maharashtra Police who wished to remain anonymous suggested that the numbers are not a cause of worry. "I don’t think the situation is particularly bad here. It can also be because of the sincerity of a police force in keeping records— we are sometimes too efficient in putting everything on paper," he said.
"Often, the numbers are misleading. Recently, our men helped a dying beggar on the streets and moved her to a hospital, but the doctor declared her dead on arrival. Now this gets recorded in the list of police custody deaths in Mumbai," he added, "Another incident involved a very sick prisoner. Since the jail was under-staffed, they [the prisons department] requested us to send a man to guard the prisoner in the hospital. When the prisoner died in the hospital due to his sickness, the death got recorded as a police custody death."
Of the 16 deaths in Maharashtra, two have been recorded in Mumbai, according to the RTI.
In July, a Dalit boy, Vinayakan, committed suicide in Kerala, allegedly after he suffered physical and mental torture in police custody— an allegation that was later confirmed in the post-mortem report. Cases like Vinayakan's open a car of worms as custodial deaths in the country often go unreported, if not unpunished.

PETITION UNDER ARTICLE 12 to ARTICLE 35 & ARTICLE 51A OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA FOR ISSUANCE OF A WRIT IN THE NATURE OF MANDAMUS UNDER ARTICLE 32 & ARTICLE 226 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA.
To ,
Hon'ble The Chief Justice of India and His Lordship's Companion
Justices of the Supreme Court of India. The Humble petition of the
Petitioner above named.
MOST RESPECTFULLY SHOWETH :
1. Facts of the case:
Only in a free & fair atmoshphere without undue influence or pressure , a person can tell truth. Recently in many high profile cases like Sohrabuddin fake encounter case witnesses are turning hostile , but courts are not taking action against the responsible police. In few other cases , police use 3rd degree torture methods on suspects to fit them in the cases. Even when the accused appeals to judge for his protection from 3rd degree torture by police , judge still remands him to police custody. Example Gauri Lankesh case.
2. Question(s) of Law:
Is it not the duty of presiding judge of a case to ensure safety of defendant , accused , complainant & witnesses ? When police or others use 3rd degree torture on accused , witnesses , etc are NOT such Police & Judge Punishable ?
If Judges , Police , Advocates have accepted 3rd degree torture as a right method to elicit truth from suspects, ok. When police subject an accused / a commoner to 3rd degree torture about a crime / theft of hundred rupees , why not police who have robbed crores of rupees ( dacoity by police near yelwal mysuru ) are subjected to 3rd degree torture by their colleagues? why not police torture former DGP for his involvement in lottery scam ? Why not police torture their colleagues who have links , pass information to Dawood Ibrahim ? Why not police torture Present CJI Dipak Mishra to elicit truth about fake affidavit , kalikho pul case , Prasad education trust ? Why not police torture Karnataka high court judges involved in mysore roost resort sex scandal ? All for eliciting truth. Why NOT ?
3. Grounds:
Requests for equitable justice , equal treatment of prisoners. Requests of stopping torture of poor prisoners. Prosecution of corrupt judges , police & jail personnel.
4. Averment:
Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India to consider this as a PIL for : “writ of Mandamus” and to issue instructions to the concerned public servants in the cases to perform their duties.
PRAYER:
In the above premises, it is prayed that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased:
a . Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India to consider this as a PIL for : “writ of Mandamus” and to issue instructions to the concerned public servants , GOI , Government of Karnataka authorities in the case to perform their duties.
b. Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India to immediately annul the Jail Manuals of all state governments of india , which are discriminatory.
c. Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India to constitute an expert committee to frame a “ Model Jail Manual “ applicable to all Indian states , union territories.
d. Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India to initiate legal prosecution of jail personnel , police & judges who failed in their duties to ensure safety of prisoners , resulting in torture of prisoners and for prolonged imprisonment or illegal imprisonment of innocents.
e. Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India to order all state governments to ensure food , health care , recreational facilities , parole on an equal footing to all prisoners without discrimination.
f. Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India to order respective state governments pay compensation to prisoners for suffering discrimination , torture.
g. Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India to order respective state governments pay compensation to prisoners who spent years behind bars , finally acquitted by courts and in the case of prisoners who spent more years in jail than the quantum of punishment codified in IPC due to prolonged case trials. In both such cases afterwards state government must recover money from respective presiding judges , investigation officer & government legal prosecutor.
h. Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India to order Government of Karnataka to provide protection to all the accused in Gauri Lankesh Case and to legally prosecute the guilty police officials for attempt to murder charges. Also to legally prosecute the presiding judge of the case who failed to do his duty in protecting the accused.
i. In Sohrabuddin Fake Encounter Case hostile witnesses have crossed 50 numbers. Either now they are under police threat, pressure &are lying orelse years back they were under police threat , pressure and lied previously. Either the present police are guilty or the previous ones. Therefore honourable court must first prosecute responsible police for criminal charges of covering up crime, cheating & misleading the court , contempt of court. Also the advocates of case at that time who together with guilty police mislead the court must also be prosecuted for the same criminal charges. Above all the judge who failed to protect witnesses from police threat must be prosecuted. Otherwise it is no justice , only power of ruling elite who always wins.
j. to order state police , central intelligence to subject the police officials , judges also to 3rd degree torture methods when they face allegations of corruption , illegalities , to elicit truth just as in the case of commoners. FAIR JUSTICE.
k. to pass such other orders and further orders as may be deemed necessary on the facts and in the circumstances of the case.
FOR WHICH ACT OF KINDNESS, THE PETITIONER SHALL BE DUTY BOUND, EVER PRAY.

Editorial : Corrupt Judges & 5 Star Jails
- Safety of Jail Inmates Responsibility of Judges
The presiding judge of the case who issues arrest warrant against a person , who rejects the bail plea of the accused and the judge who remands accused to police custody / judicial custody is fully responsible for safety , human rights of the prison / jail inmates. Use of 3rd degree torture is rampant in jails and in all such cases , respective presiding judges must be made to pay compensation from their pockets and judges must be charged for AIDING & ABETTING THE MURDER ATTEMPT on prisoner by jail / police authorities.
In the same way , it is the duty of the presiding judge who convicted or remanded a person to jail , to ensure whether the person is getting RIGHT PUNISHMENT as per law whether less or more in jail and to ensure right punishment for him.
Rich & mighty criminals are getting lesser punishment than the “ Judgement “ , enjoying luxurious lifestyles within jails , whereas poor people are exposed to harsh punishment , 3rd degree torture within jail which are not permitted by law / judgement.
This can only happen with the connivance of corrupt judges & police. Why not legal prosecution of corrupt judges & police and putting judges , police behind bars ? Are the JUDGES & POLICE above Law ?
Presiding Judge who convicted Sasikala & Police fully responsible for 5 Star Jail life of Sasikala & Ilavarasi Watch :

PETITION UNDER ARTICLE 12 to ARTICLE 35 & ARTICLE 51A OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA FOR ISSUANCE OF A WRIT IN THE NATURE OF MANDAMUS UNDER ARTICLE 32 & ARTICLE 226 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA.
To ,
Hon'ble The Chief Justice of India and His Lordship's Companion
Justices of the Supreme Court of India. The Humble petition of the
Petitioner above named.
MOST RESPECTFULLY SHOWETH :
1. Facts of the case:
"Power will go to the hands of rascals, , rogues and freebooters. All Indian leaders will be of low calibre and men of straw. They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts. They will fight among themselves for
power and will be lost in political squabbles . A day would come when even air & water will be taxed." Sir Winston made this statement in the House of Commons just before the independence of India & Pakistan. Sadly , the forewarning of Late Winston Churchill has been proved right by some of our criminal , corrupt public servants.
Majority of prisoners in Indian jails belong to poor , minority , oppressed sections of society and 2/3rd of prison population comprises of undertrials. Are not there any criminals among rich , affluent and forward castes , majority community ? It proves the bias , prejudice of police , establishment. There are good , honest people as well as criminals in all castes , religions and all walks of life. There are deadly anti nationals , criminals among the police force , judiciary , parliament , but due to their caste , financial clout escaping from conviction , legal prosecution.
As per law , all citizens of india are equal. However under trials ( who are innocents till proven guilty ) are discriminated in Indian jails. Ordinary citizens / accused are crammed in rooms resembling pig stays . whereas accused from rich / influential back grounds are given separate rooms with cot , bed , television , news paper , etc.
As per law , all citizens of india are equal. A criminal is a criminal . However Indian prison authorities discriminates here also. Former ministers who looted crores of rupees from public exchequer , corporate persons industrialists who have cheated public , public banks of crores of rupees are given royal treatment , get best food , health care where as an ordinary pick pocket , house burglar are treated like slaves , pigs don’t get proper food , health care.
India Jail Manual procedures differentiate prisoners based on their caste , social background , while allotting prison cells , food , visitor facility , parole , mandatory work , recreation facilities - which in itself is illegal.
Apart from this , corruption in Indian jails is rampant. Prisoners with money , influence get everything within jail itself , mobile phone , drugs , fire arms , etc. some mafia dons run their empire from prison itself.
Poor prisoners are tortured by police , jail personnel and criminals within jails. Indian Jails are reform centre , where everyone should treated equally in all respects. By practicing discrimination jail authorities are promoting small time criminals to commit bigger crimes to get royal treatment in society as well as in jail.
Few prisoners convicted by lower court due to bias of police , prosecutor & lower court judges are acquitted by higher courts. However due to this wrong conviction of innocents , the innocent person is deprived of his life & liberty for years , decades. But the culprits Investigating officer , police , public prosecutor & judge are not prosecuted for their crimes. In this manner even innocents are killed in fake encounters or by death sentence.
It is the duty of the judge who awards jail sentence to a convict or an accused , to ensure his safety , health care and to see that prisoner gets right punishment as per law. Here our judges have failed. SHAME SHAME to police & judges.
If the Supreme Court of India , NHRC delays in acting on this PIL petition resulting in prolonged imprisonment of undertrials , convicts or Innocents , Supreme Court of India / NHRC judges also jointly become responsible for the crimes against those illegally imprisoned and SCI judges are also equally responsible to pay compensation from their personal pockets.
2. Question(s) of Law:
Are not all prisoners equal ? is not theft of ten rupees or theft of thousand crores of rupees , both crimes ? Are not both criminals thieves ? then why differentiation ? Is it not the constitutional duty of a judge who has awarded jail sentence to an accused / a convict , to ensure safety , health care of the said prosiner ? is it not the duty of the judge to monitor whether the convict is getting right punishment as per law nothing less nothing more ?
3. Grounds:
Requests for equitable justice , equal treatment of prisoners. Requests of stopping torture of poor prisoners. Prosecution of corrupt judges , police & jail personnel.
