In a significant ruling, the Haryana Human Rights Commission (HHRC) has ordered compensation for a physically challenged man, subjected to humiliation while in police custody. The victim, a Faridabad resident, was forced to undress, filmed, and had his images shared on social media, causing severe mental trauma.
The commission's investigation confirmed misconduct by two police officials at Saran police station, leading to an order for a Rs 50,000 compensation, recoverable from the officers involved. HHRC's decision highlights the violation of human rights and the need for stringent custodial protocols.
The incident involved a troubling breach of privacy and dignity, with outsiders allowed to film the detainee. This spurred outrage over custodial abuse and demanded immediate redressal to uphold constitutional protections against inhumane treatment.
