The Commission concluded that, “The initial detention of several persons being illegal and none of them having been produced before a magistrate within twenty four hours of their arrest, the Government thought it better to pass orders of detention under the National Security Act… I am of the view that this kind of decision was taken by the Government that by interrogation of the detenus it should be found out whether any of them could be connected with any criminal offense. This necessitated the torture of detenus at the Ladha Kothi jail “It is for this reason that the interrogation Center at Ladha Kothi was declared a jail by a notification dated 31.5.1984. The same day Superindent Police and Deputy Superintendent Police, in charge of the interrogation center were declared the Superindent and the Deputy Superintendent of the jail respectively.
