Discussion
Assertion (A) : Custodial violence is an unacceptable abuse of power by police and serious violations of human rights by them.
Reason (R) : Article 21 of the Indian Constitution guarantees the Fundamental Rights to life and personal liberty.
Codes :
Answer: A
Both statements are correct and the Reason explains the Assertion, which is option A. Custodial violence is an abuse of power and a grave violation of human rights, and Article 21 guarantees life and personal liberty, so custodial violence violates that fundamental right, which is exactly why it is a violation. D.K. Basu v. State of West Bengal (1997) is the Supreme Court case that laid down safeguards against custodial violence under Article 21. Option B is wrong because (R) does supply the explanation, and C and D are wrong because neither statement is incorrect.
