The IPS officer kept laughing at the torture he saw during the video call: "Victims in Meerut said they were offered urine as a drink. I haven't seen an officer as cruel as Avinash Pandey."

"They made me take off all my clothes in a room behind the SP office. The SP Dehat started hitting me with a stick in the middle of the floor after making me open my legs. After some time, SSP Avinash Pandey came and said to take him to the police station. I was beaten there all night. I was forced to drink urine." Police committed this brutality against Ravi Gautam from Meerut. He tells Dainik Bhaskar, "Was it my fault for participating in the protest of the Lalita murder case? For 24 hours, I was tortured like a criminal."
