 "summary": "Additional Sessions Judge, Fatehabad, on 30 March 2019 convicted Haryana GRP personnel posted at Police Post Jakhal for the May 2008 custodial death of a Fatehabad man, who was beaten with lathis through the night after being booked in a petty FIR and died of head injuries on 20 May 2008. Each convict got 5 years RI plus Rs 20,000 fine under IPC 304-II/34 (with a concurrent 6-month term under 323/34); the court acquitted them under sections 325/149. The Punjab and Haryana High Court (CRA-S-1292-2019 with CRA-S-1362-2019, Justice Sureshwar Thakur) dismissed all appeals on 23 February 2023, holding the death resulted from physical assault by the police officials in transit custody, and ordered convicts on bail to be taken into custody.",
