Increase Police Budget for Better Results

Arun Kumar (22) was arrested by T Nagar Police on charges of stealing 40 sovereigns of gold from his friend’s house. He lost nine fingers allegedly due to torture by police. He moved Madras High Court seeking a compensation of Rs ten lakh.
This just doesn’t make sense. For 40 sovereigns, nine fingers? And, then, compensation of ten Lakhs for Nine fingers? It is again the mistake of the police. They didn’t do their job well. If, instead of nine, they had cut ten fingers, all the figures had matched: 1 finger for 4 sovereigns each, and 1 lakh for every finger. I think the TN police is working on a tight budget; the TN government should increase the budget of the police so that they can perform their duty of torturing people fully and satisfactorily, without worrying about the prospective costs. And also the court, while awarding compensation, should take into account the annual budget for torture duty related expenses minus the hard-earned private money received by the police for inflicting torture and should accordingly award compensation.
