Notably, the PIL filed in July 2018 had pointed out 10 separate incidents from the state whereby the accused were tied with rope, paraded, made to do sit-ups, crawl on the ground and seek public apology. The petitioner had submitted to the court that the action of police personnel involved in all the 10 cases was in contravention of the apex court guidelines and violates the human rights of the arrested-accused. The incidents were reported from Vadodara, Rajkot, Mehsana, Ahmedabad, and Bhavnagar. The affidavit also provides that the director general of police has proposed actions to take care of the problem. The incidents were reported from Vadodara, Rajkot, Mehsana, Ahmedabad, and Bhavnagar.
