Custodial death tally over 1,000 in 6 months this year

FOLLOWING the death of 84-year-old tribal rights activist Father Stan Swamy, this newspaper has found that a total of 1,067 people died in custody in the first five months of this year. This data comes from the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). In other words, nearly six persons every day have been dying in judicial custody across the country.

More than ₹1.2 crore has been recommended to the next of kin of the deceased in the cases of deaths in judicial custody. As many as 3,003 such cases were pending adjudication before NHRC as on June 6. Besides ₹1.2 crore, the rights panel also recommended ₹3 lakh as relief to the family of a juvenile who died in custody.
