Karnal, Oct. 28 -- The Haryana Human Rights Commission (HHRC) has taken serious cognisance of a case involving alleged custodial torture and directed the director general of police (DGP) and the director general of health services (DGHS) to submit detailed inquiry reports by December 17, 2025. The directions were issued by member Deep Bhatia during a hearing where the complainant's father, Dharam Singh, and sub-inspector Krishan Chand of CIA-II, Karnal, appeared before the commission. According to the records presented before the commission, an FIR under Section 379 of the IPC and Section 136 of the Electricity Act was registered at Nissing police station and investigated by SI Krishan Chand. The SI stated that the complainant, Lovedeep, was arrested on April 14, 2023, and his medical examination was conducted the same day. However, the medical documents submitted were not clearly legible and no fresh injuries appeared to have been mentioned in that report. In a statement, the HHRC said that it was revealed before member Bhatia that in another medical examination report dated April 15, 2023, injuries were described, and their duration was stated to be approximately four to seven days old. "However, the investigating officer was unable to explain the contradiction as to why no injuries were mentioned in the report dated April 14, 2023, but were recorded in the report of April 15, 2023. At this stage, SI Krishan Chand and inspector Dinesh Kumar informed the commission that, as a common practice, doctors usually mention only those injuries that the accused complains of during medical examination at the time of arrest, and a full-body examination is not conducted," the statement read. The commission's protocol, information and public relations officer Puneet Arora said. "The DGHS has also instructed to ensure that, in future, every person taken into police custody must undergo a comprehensive full-body medical examination."...
