The judgment of the Andhra Pradesh High Court records the following account. A Moinabad man was arrested by Moinabad and Narsingi police on suspicion of murdering his missing brother-in-law, detained unlawfully across different police stations for 42 days, and subjected to severe custodial torture including being kicked with boots and forced to drink urine to extract a confession. The torture ceased only after the supposedly deceased brother-in-law was found alive and working in a factory. On a taken-up writ petition prompted by a press report, the High Court directed an enquiry by the District Judge, which confirmed the illegal detention and brutal third-degree torture by the Inspector, Sub-Inspector, and constables. The High Court ordered the State to pay Rs 1,00,000 in compensation to the victim, with liberty to recover the sum from the guilty police officers, and directed the Superintendent of Police to initiate departmental and criminal proceedings. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
