Delhi HC sets aside NHRC's ₹5 lakh compensation over custodial death

The Delhi High Court set aside an NHRC order directing Delhi Police to pay ₹5 lakh to the kin of a man who died by suicide at Narela police station in 2019. The court ruled police cannot be held negligent solely because a death occurred on station premises, noting the man had visited voluntarily and was neither detained nor summoned.
