Police have been consistently showing violent behavior towards innocent civilians. Some of them have resulted in deaths.
Torture is used widely and is greatly encouraged in the police force. It has become so common in India that, it has become a part of life. One of my family members became a victim of police torture and died.

Please sign the petition below so as help prevent physical abuse of innocent civilians by police in Bombay, Thrissur, Khanpur, Suratand and elsewhere.
Thank you for your support.
We, the undersigned, petition, to investigate the employees of the police department, reporting to duty, under the influence of Alcohol and some serious punishment be awarded to the guilty, as our family members are being victims of inebriated constable's physical/verbal abuse, some of which, has resulted in death.
We also urge you to take serious actions on the police force that abuse innocent civilians and children. As no stringent checks are in place for the police, they are becoming a major anti-social element and burying human rights. The diabolical reoccurrence of police atrocity has made us all the more apprehensive and we dare not go to the police even when we are the victims.
