Tihar jail officials are under judicial scrutiny after CCTV footage revealed them beating undertrial prisoners with sticks. A Delhi court questioned the legality of the force used, noting it wasn't in self-defense as claimed. The judge emphasized that prisoners, despite misconduct, are entitled to legal protection and excessive force must be addressed by law. An inquiry has been ordered.
