The Commission issued directive in a case pertaining to a custodial death. Accused Narayan Ladiya had drunk toilet cleaner in police custody under Barman police station.

If the state government wants, it can recover the amount from concerned police officers, MPHRC stated. Since police personnel were punished earlier at the departmental level in the case, no recommendation wad made regarding punishment.
