flag A Kerala court ordered ₹5 lakh in compensation for a retired army officer wrongfully arrested in 2013 due to police misconduct.

flag A Kerala court has ordered the state and six police officers to pay ₹5 lakh in compensation to retired army officer Willington, who was wrongfully arrested in 2013. flag The court found police entered his home by force, assaulted him, damaged property, and detained him for two days without legal basis, falsely accusing him of harboring his brother. flag Exonerated in 2017 after a re-investigation, Willington was awarded damages for physical injury, mental trauma, reputational harm, and property loss. flag The court ruled the officers acted with malice and exceeded authority, disqualifying them from sovereign immunity, while holding the state vicariously liable. flag The award includes interest and court costs, affirming that wrongful arrests and malicious prosecution are compensable under tort law.
