 "summary": "The Madhya Pradesh High Court (Gwalior Bench) on 1 August 2002 allowed the State's appeal against acquittal and convicted five Police Station Indar personnel for custodial torture causing the death of theft suspect [name withheld]. An Indar man was illegally detained without record from 8 October 1983, given electric shocks on his scrotum to extort a confession, released on 11 October 1983 and died on 13 October 1983. Each officer received five years' RI with Rs 5,000 fine under s.304 Part II IPC and three years' RI under s.330 IPC. The Supreme Court (9 March 2011, Crl.A. Nos. 581-584 of 2003) affirmed, holding the death a direct consequence of inexcusable and inhuman torture by the police; HC full text verified via the SC record. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
