The Supreme Court of India has instructed the Uttar Pradesh government to produce Aditya Anand and Rupesh Roy, two men arrested during the Noida labour protests in April 2026, amid allegations of custodial torture. The order was issued following a petition from Keshaw Anand, Aditya's brother, who claimed that the police subjected Aditya to violence after his arrest. The protests, which involved thousands of factory workers demanding higher wages and better working conditions, escalated into violent clashes with police, leading to multiple arrests and the use of tear gas to disperse crowds. In response to the unrest, the Uttar Pradesh government announced revised minimum wage rates and labor welfare measures by the end of April. During the court proceedings, senior advocate Colin Gonsalves emphasized that Aditya, an engineer, was merely advocating for workers' rights. The state government, however, denied the allegations of custodial violence, asserting that all procedural safeguards were followed during the arrests. The case is set to be revisited on May 18, when the two men are expected to be presented before the Supreme Court.
