HC Deb 15 March 1926 vol 193 c2
2. Mr. SCURR

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether his attention has been drawn to the allegations of torturing prisoners made against the police at Mehunbara, in the Bombay Presidency; and whether he will cause a judicial inquiry to be made into the matter?

Earl WINTERTON

I have at present seen only a brief newspaper reference to alleged police terrorism at Mehunbara, and am confident that the local Government will take action on it, if necessary.
