Indian police jailed for torturing editor

A senior police officer and three other policemen have been sentenced to six months in jail for torturing an Indian newspaper editor nearly 11 years ago. The director general of police in Kannur, Kerala state, Prem Sankar, was superintendent of police in 1998 when M. Madhavan, editor of the popular evening title Sudhinam, was detained during a raid on the paper's office. Madhavan alleged that he was treated brutally and his case was pursued by the newspaper after his death in 2003. (Via NewDelhinews.net)
