NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Thursday took suo motu note of the alleged custodial death of a 19-year-old man in the Adarsh Nagar police station's lock-up in the Capital in the wee hours of September 13 and directed the city police to complete the probe and file a reply to the Court on September 28. The Court took note of the lock-up death on the basis of media reports. While the police claimed that the victim had committed suicide by hanging himself with his trousers, the victim's relatives alleged that it was a case of death due to torture.
Police version
The police said that around 3-45 a.m. on that day, the sentry of the lockup, who had gone to relieve himself, returned and saw Sunil hanging from the lockup's iron grill. However, the police took two hours to inform about the death to the victim's family members. Sunil was first rounded up when he was seen fighting with someone at Azadpur Subzi Mandi but he had later escaped. But he was once again brought to the police station and booked under Section 107 of the CPC, the police said.
