Custodial Death Sparks Inquiry: Family Alleges Torture

Satyaveer Kumar, a 23-year-old, died allegedly due to custodial assault. While police claim he committed suicide, his family alleges torture. Authorities have launched a probe involving Sub-Inspector Surendra Singh and Constable Shahid Ali. An FIR has been filed, and further investigation is ongoing with additional police deployment.

An alleged custodial assault leading to the death of a 23-year-old Satyaveer Kumar has prompted an investigation by authorities, as reported on Saturday.

Action has been taken against two police officials, including a sub-inspector, as the district magistrate commissioned a special team to uncover the truth behind the incident.

The victim's family disputes the police's suicide claim, citing third-degree torture, and has filed a complaint demanding accountability from Sub-Inspector Surendra Singh and his team.
