Abstract
The Latin term "politia," which itself derives from Ancient Greek, is the source of the Middle French word "police," from which the English word "police" is derived. In general, the term "Police" can be used to refer to a public servant or a group responsible for enforcing the law whose main duty is to maintain the public's legality. The term "police" is also defined in the Police Act of 1861, which states in Section 1 that "the word "police" will encompass all personnel who shall be recruited under this Act." In recent years, India has witnessed the police force engage in a variety of corrupt activities and wrongdoing. One should not conflate the phrase corrupt practices and misbehavior at this point. Corrupt practices are actions taken by police officers for personal benefit, whereas misbehavior is the use of fatal amounts of physical force by the police. These offenses often include murdering or violently assaulting innocent persons without a warrant from a judge or higher police authority. Police brutality is the phrase used to describe these actions. Several examples of police abuse include: • Wrongful detention and wrongful arrest • Sexual exploitation • Discrimination based on race • Inappropriate search and seizure Accountability is needed for police at this point. In this paper, we are going to understand the legal accountability of the police in India. We will look at some rules and regulations which hold the police responsible for all the brutal acts it performs. We will understand the scenario in India and then we will look at some of the which might be useful in tackling this situation. In the end, the article will be concluded.
