9,681 children below 18 years wrongly incarcerated in adult prisons between Jan 2016-Dec 2021: Study

With the report bringing focus on the critical role of police as a first point of contact, the findings were released at a panel discussion in the Capital by Rashmi, who is now an adult but was all of 17 in 2018 when she was sent to an adult jail with her age allegedly recorded by police as 19 even as she protested. After languishing in prison for nearly six years, she is finally out on bail with the support of lawyers from iProbono.
