(a)death in police custody;
(b)grievous hurt, as defined in section 320 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860;
(c)molestation, rape or attempt to committing rape.
Provided that the Commission shall inquire into a complaint of such arrest or detention, only if it is satisfied prima facie about the veracity of the complaint.
The Commission may also inquire into any other case referred to it by the Government or Director General of Police of The state, in the opinion of the Commission, if the nature of the case merits an independent enquiry.
The Commission may monitor the status of departmental inquiries or departmental action on the complaints of “misconduct” against Gazetted Officer of and above the rank of Deputy/Assistant Superintendent of Police through a quarterly report obtained periodically from the Director General of Police of the State, and issue appropriate advice to the police department for expeditious completion of inquiry, if in the Commission’s opinion the department inquiry or department action is getting unduly delayed in any such case.
