In the past years, such cases have come to the fore in many states of the country, in which the police have been accused of inhuman treatment and beating. A similar case has come to the fore from Bihar, where a thirty-five-year-old son of a local BJP leader died in a hospital. Now in this case the family of the deceased alleged that the youth died due to beating by the police. The police, however, denied the allegations but registered a case against three unidentified policemen and a cook.
According to information, Rohit Singh alias Bablu Singh, son of a local BJP leader Pushpa Singh, died on Tuesday afternoon at Jagdishpur Hospital in Bhojpur. Bhojpur Superintendent of Police Vinay Tiwari told The Indian Express that on the complaint of the mother of the deceased, we have registered a case against three unidentified policemen and a private cook. Also, after getting the video footage in the case, we immediately started investigation.
According to Superintendent of Police Vinay Tiwari, in the video footage, Rohit Singh alias Bablu himself is seen going to the hospital, which his mother is also accepting. At the same time, the doctor of the hospital said that Bablu was undergoing treatment due to mental instability and problems caused by drug addiction. Though the hospital had referred the case on the morning of March 29, he could not be taken to another hospital.
In this case, BJP leader Pushpa Singh, in a conversation with the media on Wednesday, alleged that his son was beaten up by the policemen living in the building near the house. According to Pushpa Singh, her son had an argument with some policemen due to which they (policemen) beat up Rohit. Then later he died during treatment in the hospital.
In the whole case, the SP said that no external injury has come to the fore in the investigation. We are waiting for the postmortem report and its viscera has been saved. A special investigation team has been constituted to probe the matter. The SP said that if the family identifies the three policemen and the post-mortem reveals internal injuries due to beatings, strict action will be taken against the accused.
