Ghaziabad:
A middle-aged man died while two constables were taking him to a
police station here Wednesday, said the police. The policemen have
been suspended and booked.
Constables Rakesh and Surya Kant were taking Vinayak Pal to the
police station when he collapsed and was later pronounced dead.
"The constables made a mistake by taking into custody an unwell
man on a bailable warrant that too when the family had pleaded for
mercy," said Ghaziabad Senior Superintendent of Police Prashant
Kumar.
"They have been suspended with immediate effect and a criminal
case under sections 304 (culpable homicide), 504 (intentional
insult) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code
has been registered on the complaint of the son of the deceased,"
he said.
According to a police official, constables Rakesh and Surya Kant
barged into Pal's house in Shakarpuri in the morning and took him
into custody. A magistrate's court had issued a bailable warrant
against him pertaining to a case of quarrelling in 2008, they
said.
Although the family said he was unwell, the constables made him
sit on their motorcycle, but midway, he fell off, said the
official.
The constables left the spot and Pal was taken by family members
to hospital where he was declared brought dead, said the official.
Later in the day, police resorted to lathi-charge to disperse a
crowd outside the Vijay Nagar police station which was protesting
against the death.
