Changes are needed in the Indian Evidence Act. I read elsewhere that the conviction rate is very poor in this country. The police punish whom they think to be guilty by being brutal with them under the premise 'what the heck--he is going to be let off any way; so let us punish him when we can' !
There <i>are</i> many officers who go by the rule book. There are also brutal beings. But can we say third degree is not at all being used anywhere else?
Some police personnel <i>do</i> bend to the dictates of politicians.
But it is very unfair to tar all by the same brush.
