What the record shows

Patterns dashboard

Anonymised aggregates drawn only from published records. Verification and institutional action are reported separately.

Small sample

The public dataset currently contains 1 published record. Counts are shown, but percentages are withheld until at least 20 records are published. The records are not a representative sample of policing across India.

Categories recorded in published incidents

Overlapping categories are counted separately, so percentages may sum to more than 100%.

Verification

How far material facts have been verified

Verification describes the support for material facts. It does not state that an authority acted or that misconduct was legally proved.

Follow-up coverage

What we checked, and what we did not

A check describes a bounded search. “No new development found” and “unable to establish” are never combined. A check older than 180 days is shown as stale for this dashboard; its original date and finding remain visible.

The denominator is the number of currently displayed proceedings of that type, not every incident in the database. Outcome columns use only the latest published check targeting that exact proceeding.

Institutional actions

What institutions did

Each row counts records with that action and status. One record may have several actions. Initiation or pendency is not a finding.

Authority context

Independence and legal effect

These are kept separate so an internal departmental action is not presented as equivalent to an external court finding. Counts overlap where a record has more than one action.

Concluded actions

How conclusions relate to the allegation

Only concluded actions have dispositions. “Closed without findings” is counted as no finding, not as a pending action or an exoneration.
