Custodial Torture and Police Brutality in India
The lockdown due to the Corona pandemic showed once again that police violence and torture in custody are a major problem in India. Significant is the case of P. Jayaraj and J. Fenix, who were tortured in judicial custody and succumbed to their injuries after two days. They were arrested for keeping their small mobile phone and accessories shop open just 15 minutes beyond the state government imposed curfew.
