Man Dies After Inquest By UP Cops; Family Alleges Police’s ‘Third-Degree’ Methods

A 42-year-old farmer in Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur district died on his way home after being summoned to a police outpost for questioning. The farmer’s family asserts that the police employed aggressive tactics leading to his demise.

Dinesh Singh Bhadauria was called to the Hanumant Vihar police outpost by Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Ravindra Kumar, who explained that routine questioning occurred due to a recent criminal case registered under sections related to the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Once questioned, Bhadauria was released, but as he headed home, he experienced chest pain and was later pronounced dead at a hospital.

Bhadauria’s family contends that the police’s ‘third-degree’ methods were responsible for his demise, while the police deny these allegations. Additional DCP (South) Ankita Sharma reported that an examination of CCTV footage revealed no misconduct towards the victim.

Joint Commissioner of Police (law and order) Anand Prakash Tiwari directed a postmortem examination and registration of a case if a complaint was submitted by the family. He stated that a thorough investigation would be conducted, and appropriate actions taken.
