Abstract
The powers of investigation and arrest gives ample authority to the police to use third form of harassment against suspects. These powers sometimes lead to police brutality in police cells against detainees or suspects ranging from minor incidents of mental and physical violence to death or irreparable injury to the arrested and under trails. With the passage of times and witnessing the increasing numbers of deaths in custody attracted the attention of courts and invoked the need of the judiciary to intervene in this kind of grave violations of human right to life and due process in police custody and trial. The paper deals with the proactive role of Indian judiciary to limit the unrestrained practice of using third degree methods in police custody to prevent custodial crimes in India.
