Abstract
Encounter killings by police officers have been a contentious issue in India for several decades.
These incidents, often characterized as extrajudicial executions, occur when the police claim to
have killed a suspect in self-defense during an arrest or confrontation. While such encounters are
often lauded by sections of the public as swift justice, they raise significant legal and ethical con
cerns, particularly regarding human rights violations, lack of due process, and state accountability.
This article explores recent instances of police encounters in India, the socio-political context that
drives such actions, legal frameworks, and the broader implications for civil liberties and law en
forcement reform.
