Sec 377 not included in FIR against five Uttar Pradesh cops booked for torturing youth in custody

BAREILLY: Five police personnel, including a police outpost in-charge, four constables and two "unidentified" persons have been booked for allegedly torturing a man in custody who was a suspect in a cattle slaughtering case in Uttar Pradesh's Budaun. However, police are yet to include section 377 (unnatural offences) in the FIR against the accused policemen.

Rehan (20) was held by police on May 2 over suspicion of theft when he was returning home from work. He was given electric shocks and the accused cops inserted a wooden stick in his genitals, a complaint lodged by the man's family members alleged. The cops released him the next day after finding that he was not the one they were looking for.
