In a significant judicial directive, the Calcutta High Court has ordered the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the alleged custodial death at Baruipur Correctional Home. This case, taken up by Lawgeto & Co on behalf of the petitioner's family, has highlighted serious concerns about human rights violations within correctional facilities.

Case Overview
The tragic incident involved the suspicious death of a detainee at the Baruipur Correctional Home. Reports indicate that the deceased had sustained severe injuries, with the post-mortem report pointing to physical trauma, including injuries on the scalp and other parts of the body. Disturbingly, it was also noted in official health screening documents that the detainee had been "assaulted by police," with injuries to the right elbow and both knees. Despite this evidence, no First Information Report (FIR) was initially filed, which raised serious concerns about accountability.
