Section 96 of The Kerala Police Act, 2011 View Chapter 7

Police officers to report corruption and torture.

(1) Every police officer shall be liable to inform directly to the Deputy Superintendent of Police or the District Police Chief in respect of any act of corruption or of physical torture against any person with the intention of admitting the commission of an offence or creating evidence which such officer believes in good faith is going on in his presence under the circumstances he knows very well.

(2) No such report, made in good faith shall be deemed to be a violation of discipline on the reason that the officer reported on was an officer lower in rank than the officer against whom the report was given.

(3) No police officer shall be deemed to have acted as a partner, protector or an accomplice in the said corruption or torture solely due to the reason that the officer has not informed as such.

Provided that the police officer not informed as such shall be subjected to departmental disciplinary proceedings.
