Unfortunately, even after this report, this will not be grounds in itself for #ShivKumar to get bail. And the likelihood of action against those responsible is also minimal.

The criminal 'justice' system is not fit for purpose, and needs urgent reform.

Nodeep Kaur-Shiv Kumar Case: If Police Torture Alleged, What Next?

Every arrested person has a right to ask for a medical exam, but this doesn’t guarantee any consequences for police.

Just look at this report from GMC Chandigarh assessing the condition of #ShivKumar .

Broken toenails. Possible fractures. PTSD. If you don't think this is physical and mental torture, I don't know what to say to you.

The normalisation of police brutality has to stop.

What happens when an arrested person alleges custodial torture?

While there is a right to request a medical examination, Indian law lays down few other hard & fast rules beyond that & is incredibly weak on consequences.
