Boys ‘given’ electric shock in police custody

Surat: Three teenaged boys, arrested on the charge of stealing money from a shop, were allegedly given electric shock and beaten up in police custody here. This was disclosed by the boys, aged between 13 and 15 years, to the Superintendent of the Juvenile Home, where they were sent by a court here.

“When the children were brought here, we found marks on their body when they were changing clothes. When we asked about the marks, they hesitantly said that the police had beaten them and subjected them to electric shock,” said Superintendent of Juvenile Home Govind Kantharia. — PTI
