6.4 Investigation of Custodial Deaths

The state's answer's medical core (the HR course's U5.2.4 companion): the mandatory machinery: the immediate inquiry (the inquest's-and-autopsy's duty — the independent faces); the NHRC's-and-court's interventions (the writs-and-compensation); the family's presence (the transparency's faces); the autopsy's special duty: the torture's-and-violence's full search (the injuries' completeness — the no-shortcut discipline); the samples (the delay's-and-poisoning's questions); the differential: the natural deaths in custody (the illness's-and-neglect cases — the medical-care's duty) vs the violence (the beating's-and-asphyxia's faces) vs the suicide (the hanging in the cell — the scene's-and-autoptic's confirmation: the genuine-vs-staged's crucial question); the Nepal record: the custodial-death jurisprudence (the compensation cases' line — the HR course's faces; the accountability's gap the honest audit).
