High Court directs State Govt to file counter affidavit in Man's death due to Police 'torture'

 

On Tuesday, the High Court of Telangana directed the Telangana Govt to file a counter affidavit in connection with the death of a 35-year-old man from Medak district following allegations that he died of injuries due to "torture" by police during questioning in a theft case.

The wife of the deceased man filed a writ petition in the court alleging her husband Mohammad Qadeer was "beaten" by police during custody causing damage to his kidneys, leading to his death.

The counsel of the state government submitted before the court that it was not a custodial death. The court was informed that the state DGP has ordered an inquiry into the incident by an IGP-rank officer.
