Abstract
The present study aims to critically analyse the cases of custodial violence in the nation and also crucially examine the reasons of custodial deaths in India. The study attempted to enrich the existing literature on “A Study on police accountability and custodial violence in India”. In the study, the custodial violence has been divided into three categories namely physical, sexual and psychological. Various reasons have been encountered for the custodial deaths such as suicide, death due to treatment in the hospital, injuries sustained prior to custody, physical assault by police, while escaping from custody, road accidents connected with the journey etc. The study gives various recommendations to improve the police administration and foster the need for reforms in the working of police officials.
