The Supreme Court in a 2011 judgement has warned the police that acts of custodial violence will not be tolerated as they cannot behave like the “oppressors of the people”. The court directed that a copy of its order be sent to home secretaries and directors general of police of all states and union territories. They shall circulate the same to all police officers up to the level of station house officers with a directive that they should desist from indulging in custodial violence, the court said. Police should know that custodial violence was against the directions of the apex court and would “entail harsh punishment”.
