  "summary": "The Hindu reports that four police officers from the Kalady station have been suspended pending inquiry into allegations of custodial torture. The officers involved are Sub-Inspectors Ajmal and Nisar K.V., senior civil police officer Rajith Rajan, and civil police officer Dhanesh K.R. This suspension was issued based on an internal inquiry report, following a complaint from Sujith Jayan, a 32-year-old taxi driver. Sujith alleged that the four officers brutally assaulted him after his arrest on September 2, as part of an investigation into a case involving one of his friends. According to the DIG's order, the internal inquiry found that Sujith was taken into custody illegally and detained at the Kalady station from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. without his details being entered in the general diary or his relatives being informed.",
