Criminals or detainees taken into custody are subjected to torture by the police and also sometimes suffer death. These are known as custodial violence. The term \u201cCustodial violence\u201d is nothing but violence in police custody or in <a href=\"https:\/\/lex-warrier.in\/archives\/sabarimala-judgment-women-entry.html\">judicial<\/a> custody. The term \u201ccustodial violence\u201d has not defined under any law. Besides <a href=\"http:\/\/www.svpnpa.gov.in\/images\/npa\/pdfs\/CompletedResearchProject\/14_custodiandeaths.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">death<\/a>, rape as well as torture are two other forms of custodial violence. Custodial violence is not a recent phenomenon. Unexpected and Sudden death in custody is commonly associated with allegations of torture against law enforcement agencies. Delay in providing basic medical care is one of the commonest allegations by the relatives against jail authorities. Considering the gravity of the situation, it may be argued that there is a strong need for better custodial management. Role of police is crucial in this regard. They should be trained in matters pertaining to human rights and prison management. There should be adequate number of medical personnel in prisons for prisoner\u2019s welfare. New laws should evolve for the protection of prisoners and to get rid them from custodial violence; if not custodial violence is going to become never ending one. The author, in order to provide a comprehensive knowledge about this concept have also cited certain case laws for better understanding and tried to convey concept in a different way. There is a scope for conducting further research based on this topic. Thus, the author thinks that, this research might help for people those who want to conduct further research.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong><\/span> Custody, Violence, Human Rights, Judicial custody<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Preferred Citation:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default\"><div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">Sai Vikranth Deshpande, Custodial violence in India, The Lex-Warrier: Online Law Journal (2019) 3, pp. 173 &#8211; 179, ISSN (O): 2319-8338<\/div><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lex-warrier.in\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Custodial-violance-in-India.pdf\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-glass\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#ef792d;border-color:#c06124;border-radius:7px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:7px 20px;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;border-color:#f4a26c;border-radius:7px;text-shadow:none\"><i class=\"sui sui-file-pdf-o\" style=\"font-size:16px;color:#FFFFFF\"><\/i> Read the full paper<\/span><\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sai Vikranth Deshpande Abstract In the legal language, the term \u201cCustody\u201d is defined as any point in time when an individual\u2019s freedom of movement has been denied by law enforcement&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-abstract","no-post-thumbnail","clearfix","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Custodial violence in India | The Lex-Warrier: Online Law Journal<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The term \u201cCustodial violence\u201d is nothing but violence in police custody or in judicial custody.
