 "summary": "ASJ Karkardooma on 27 January 2001 convicted eight Delhi Police Special Staff (NE) men for raiding a North East Delhi man's Dilshad Garden house on the night of 30/31 July 1995, abducting him to the Special Staff office for interrogation, and torturing him in custody till 31 July evening; he died of the injuries on 8 August 1995. Each got life plus two 5-year terms. On 14 December 2017 the Delhi High Court (Justices S. Muralidhar and I.S. Mehta, Crl.A.74/2001 & connected) converted the six surviving appellants' murder convictions to section 304-II (fatal injury not attributable to any one accused) with 8 years RI each, declining to interfere otherwise and cancelling bail for surrender. (A-1 SI and [name withheld] died; appeals abated/expired.)",
