In Ludhiana, Punjab, India, Inspector Vijay Kumar, the station house officer (SHO) of Division 6, has been transferred to the police lines after a chicken shop owner, Sarabjit Singh, accused him of custodial torture. Singh alleged that during a police visit to his shop in Nirankari Mohalla, he was subjected to abuse and electric shocks after refusing to allow alcohol consumption on his premises. Despite the allegations, Inspector Kumar denied any wrongdoing, stating that Singh had previously been warned about illegal activities at his shop. Following the complaint, police commissioner Swapan Sharma confirmed the transfer of the SHO and stated that an investigation is underway, with appropriate actions to be taken based on the findings. This incident is reminiscent of a case in January, where four police personnel were suspended for allegedly torturing a cab driver in custody after a road accident.
