In the intro, cite figures about custodial deaths in India.
In the body, mention the reasons for the custodial tortures and deaths and challenges in their prevention and punishing the culprits- police protecting their colleagues, lack of evidence in trials, lack of definition, tortures carried outside the police station and police vehicles, lack of training to the police etc in the measures suggest the implementation of guidelines given by the Supreme Court, not insisting on direct or ocular evidence in such cases, installation of CCTV without blind spots etc.
Conclude by mentioning the need to eliminate one of the worst crime in the modern democratic system indicative of the failure of the system.
