Haryana HC Probes Police Brutality: Teen’s Illegal Re-arrest Sparks Outrage
The Haryana Human Rights Commission (HHRC) is investigating allegations of illegal custody and assault against an 18-year-old, Parvesh Sharma. Sharma, accused in an arms case, was reportedly subjected to police brutality.
The HHRC’s intervention follows discrepancies uncovered in the police investigation. A local court deemed a subsequent re-arrest of Sharma illegal, raising serious concerns.
DCP Srishty Gupta has been summoned by the HHRC to explain the lapses. The Commission is examining potential human rights violations committed during Sharma’s detention.
This case highlights a critical issue: accountability within law enforcement. The HHRC’s investigation is crucial to ensuring justice for Sharma and preventing similar incidents in the future. The outcome will set a precedent for police conduct in Haryana.
