National Project on Preventing Torture in Karnataka, India
Organised by SICHREM and sponsored by EU-FNSt-PWTN
 |
| Inauguration of the programme |
The police in India is widely perceived as torturing suspects to elicit information, although no empirical data is available to draw such a conclusion. The prevalence of such a perception is unthinkable in a democracy like India. There are many dominant reasons like lack of quality education, socio-economic back ground of the personnel, inadequate training and bad working atmosphere to influence such behavior of the police. Some in the uniform are probably aware of the fact that torture is wrong, but to them it seems an easy way to get confessions, on which they rely to a large extent. The fear of torture and abuse is a big factor for the poor to avoid approaching the police.
