Title: Torture in India 2010
Summary: Torture in police custody remains a widespread and systematic practice in India. This report updates earlier reports in 2008 and 2009, and suggests that victims suffer high risks of torture in the first twenty four hours following detention. There are no safeguards to ensure that a person taken into custody will have their detention recorded, have prompt access to a lawyer or impartial medication examination upon their arrival at the place of detention, or at the time of their release.
