(“Rathore spared nobody. Ruchika’s brother, Rahul, was tortured in custody, and his legs were broken by a roller. Their home in Panchkula was forcibly sold to Rathore’s lawyer. People were deployed to follow my daughter wherever she went and they passed nasty remarks at her,” Prakash, mother of Aradhana, Ruchika’s friend and tennis partner whose crucial statement helped the court nail the accused, said in conversation with The Pioneer.
Prakash said that Rathore ‘deployed every means in his power as a police officer to torture them’. “False cases of theft, murder and civil defamation were filed against the father and brother of Ruchika. All the people who raised a voice against Rathore were framed in false cases,” she said. “It was 19 years of torment and anguish for my family. But we never gave up and left no stone unturned.”
We lived a traumatised life. We had to go to court hiding ourselves in different vehicles. We produced ourselves before the court 400 times.)
a)What are the effective methods that can actually prevent from torture by police while in custody of police? I also mean including the period while in custody before being produced in court(i.e. within 24 hours of arrest)
b)What can be done to prevent the forcible sale of property?
c)What can be done to prevent from being hounded by police so that one is not forced into traveling in different vehicles?
c)What can be done to prevent oneself to go to court something like 400 times for justice?
d)Is anything better possible in case similar to the Ruchika's as mentioned above?

I am in no way related to the above case or biased against anybody. I have presented the above information "as is" from the website so that my questions can be better understood. My purpose is to get specific answers to my questions a, b, c, d only so that a law abiding citizen can take "preventive" measures so that he does not become a successful victim of torture and hounding by police.

first of all dont be biased against Mr. Rathore....were u ever connected with that particular case?
Indian media is acting in an irresponsible manner to frame Rathore....let the courts do whatever is to be done legally.
Now coming to final part....yes there are various examples of misuse of police authority....the only way out available is approaching court immediately in case of any such misuse.
u may approach Human Rights Commission...may approach senior police officials.
