In Uttar Pradesh’s Rataul village, a young man named Sajid, aged 26, lost his life under suspicious circumstances while being held in police custody.
According to the accounts provided by the victim’s relatives, Sajid was apprehended by the Rataul police on charges of involvement in illegal gambling activities at a mango orchard.
After being taken into custody, he was reportedly subjected to brutal beatings by the police officers at the Rataul police post.
The severity of the assault led to a deterioration in his health, prompting the policemen to contact the young man’s family.
Allegedly, the police then handed over the injured Sajid to his family members, who promptly rushed him to a nearby medical facility in Khekra for urgent treatment.
However, Sajid succumbed to his injuries before reaching the destination.
