About the Webinar
The death of a father and son due to the alleged act of police brutality and custodial torture in Tamil Nadu has sparked rage across India. According to NCRB, only 26 policemen were convicted of custodial violence despite 1,727
such deaths being recorded in India between 2001-2018. Police forces have the authority to exercise force to enforce laws and maintain law and order in a state. However, this power may be misused in several ways. For example,
in India, various kinds of complaints are made against the police including complaints of unwarranted arrests, unlawful searches, torture and custodial rapes.
The Second Administrative Reforms Commission (2007) has observed that there is a need to have an independent complaints authority to inquire into cases of police misconduct. The Supreme Court of India in Prakash Singh v.
Union of India also ordered the Centre and states to set up authorities to lay down guidelines for police functioning, evaluate police performance, decide postings and transfers, and receive complaints of police misconduct. Yet,
these and various other recommendations made across eight reports of the National Police Commission have not been implemented in the criminal justice system. The webinar will be focusing on the different steps by which
reformation of the system to reduce this misuse of the powers by the authorities can be possible, as well as raise awareness on the same.
