Khurshid for videography of proceedings at police stations

New Delhi, June 26: Union Law Minister Salman Khurshid today suggested that all proceedings at police stations across the country should be videographed as the measure would discourage custodial torture.
 "I think in modern times and availability of modern technology...Unfortunately even courts are not ready to record their proceedings...There should be videographing and recording of proceedings that take place in our police stations so that there is completely safe evidence available," Khurshid said.
 "I am sure people will say it is expensive, maintenance will be a problem, police stations are in distant places etcetera. I think these are all issues we can find answers to," he said.
 The Law Minister was speaking at an interaction organised by the European Union on the occasion of International Day in support of victims of torture.
