 "summary": "Per the Delhi High Court judgment of 26-06-2023, [name withheld] was among five UP Police officers convicted by the Sessions Judge, Delhi (Karkardooma; case transferred from Gautam Budh Nagar by the Supreme Court on 24-01-2011) for the custodial torture and death of 26-year-old a Gautam Buddha Nagar man @ a Gautam Buddha Nagar man, picked up in civil dress on 01-09-2006 and shown as a suicide at PS Sector-20, Noida. The trial court imposed 10 years RI (order on sentence 20-03-2019). The High Court upheld the conviction and sentence, rejecting the suicide theory and the complainant's plea to convert the charge to murder (IPC 302).",
 "court_quote": "The Ld. Trial Court has rightly convicted the said accused for the offences and the appeals by the accused viz. CRL.A. 488/2019, CRL.A. 499/2019, CRL.A. 537/2019, CRL.A. 622/2019 and CRL.A. 624/2019 are, therefore, dismissed and the conviction and sentence awarded by the learned trial court are upheld",
