CUET PG 2026 Agri-Business Management Question Paper (25-Mar-2026) (Shift 2)

A is not correct but R is correct.

Evaluating Assertion A and Reason R on Police Conduct

This section analyzes the correctness of the provided Assertion (A) and Reason (R) regarding police custodial actions and their justifications.

Analysis of Assertion A

Assertion A states that Police Custodial Torture and Death are falsely fabricated as Human Right Violations.

  • This statement is incorrect. Custodial torture and death are widely recognized internationally and nationally as severe violations of fundamental human rights, including the right to life and the prohibition of torture. They are not fabricated issues but documented realities addressed by legal and human rights frameworks.

Analysis of Reason R

Reason R states that the police justify custodial torture as a "necessary evil" because hardened criminals understand only violence.

  • This statement correctly identifies a common, albeit unlawful, justification used by some law enforcement personnel. The concept of "necessary evil" and the belief that certain individuals respond only to violence represent a rationale sometimes presented to defend harsh interrogation tactics or actions in custody.

Conclusion

Based on the analysis:

  • Assertion A is incorrect because custodial torture and death are legitimate human rights violations.
  • Reason R is correct because it accurately describes a justification that is often given for such actions.

Therefore, Assertion A is not correct, but Reason R is correct.

Final Answer Selection

The analysis aligns with the option stating that Assertion A is incorrect, but Reason R is correct. This corresponds to Option 4.
