Human Rights in Punjab

Ramgarh police officers have been accused of torturing a Dalit, Titu, after framing him in a false case of theft.

Residents of Bhaura village, Ludhiana, demanded an investigation into the incident; on April 17, SSP AS Rai ordered an inquiry into the abuse.

President of Vishwa Guru Ravidas Mission, Shiv Ram Saroay, and Rashtriya Vikas Manch president Gurinder Sood have appealed to the SC/ST Commission and the Punjab State Human Rights Commission to look into the matter.
