Will UP Cops Pay For Custodial Torture Of Innocent Men?
Eight men assaulted in custody by the police in a viral video after protests in Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur last month have been cleared of any charges. After the police said there is no evidence against them, and the local court discharged them, they walked out of jail yesterday. This means their names are no longer in the FIR initially filed against 85 people for a violent protest over now-suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma's remarks against Prophet Muhammad. An inquiry into the police brutality was ordered after the NDTV report. Saurabh Shukla reports
