The Gujarat High Court on Tuesday directed a resident of Jamnagar district to lodge a criminal complaint against district superintendent of police,Subhash Trivedi,and two other policemen for the custodial torture he was allegedly subjected to by the three in August last year.

According to the plea filed by Vishal Singala in the HC,Trivedi,along with police inspector A P Jadeja and sub-inspector G N Vaghela,had severely beaten him up in custody after he was arrested under the provisions of the Prohibition Act in August last.

After being released,Singala lodged a court complaint against the three policemen and the magisterial court ordered an inquiry. However,not happy with the slow pace of the inquiry,Singala had approached HC.

According to Singala’s lawyer Gayatri Jadeja,a single-judge bench of HC comprising Justice Anant Dave heard the matter at length on Tuesday and directed Singala to lodge a criminal complaint against the policemen.
