"The report, "'Bound by Brotherhood': India’s Failure to End Killings in Police Custody," examines police disregard for arrest regulations, custodial deaths from torture, and impunity for those responsible. It draws on in-depth investigations into 17 deaths in custody that occurred between 2009 and 2015, including more than 70 interviews with victims' family members, witnesses, justice experts, and police officials.
