The primary duty of Police is to uphold law and order and protect the citizen but they resort to illegal abduction, torture and assassination in custody and did not record and investigate complaints in this behalf for long periods of time, if those who had been abducted are found to have been unlawfully detained in police stations in the State concerned prior to their probable assassination.
