      In a cheating complaint given against me by a person, the police took me to police station. Police misbehaved me, used third degree treatment and tortured me. What is my best remedy to take action against these police officials? Important – police has not registered FIR so far but they are pressuring me to pay amount to opposite party.

      The police has no such legal power to use third-degree or torture against any person either before or after registration of the FIR. There is no power to misbehave with people. Such misbehaviour and torture may amount to offences under various sections of IPC.

      You may give a formal complaint to the senior officers of police (such as Superintendent of Police of the district, or DCP of the city, as the case may be) about such misbehaviour. If needed, you may also file a complaint in the court along with medical certificate, if any.
