"Police officers" allegedly tortured 21 Muslim men during an investigation into a series of bombings in southern India, an international rights group says.

Bomb attacks in Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh state, in May and August last year killed more than 50 people. At the time "police" blamed Islamic militants and rounded up more than 100 Muslim men.

New York-based Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on Tuesday that while most were released, at least 21 were held for long periods and allegedly tortured while under detention.

"The detainees were stripped, hung upside down, severely beaten, subjected to electric shocks, and otherwise ill-treated," the group said in a statement. "They were also threatened with the torture of their relatives, particularly female relatives."

The rights group said evidence of the torture was gathered from the testimony of the men and findings of the state Minorities Commission that concluded that several of them sustained injuries while in custody.

So far no action has been taken against the "officers."
