Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the brutal assault by police officers on Jugta Ram, who was subjected to extreme violence, including the amputation of his penis, while in police custody. The Court emphasized the violation of fundamental rights under Article 21 of the Constitution, asserting that such barbaric acts by law enforcement cannot be tolerated in a democratic society. The Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Sections 307, 326, 343, and 120B IPC, reinforcing the principle that police personnel must be held accountable for their actions.
