New Delhi: Four Delhi policemen have been named in an FIR in connection with the death of a 25-year-old man who died in police custody last year.According to an Indian Express report, Govinda Yadav was arrested last year on June 6 for allegedly carrying illicit liquor, along with his accomplice 30-year-old Nayeem, from Sunder Nagri. The two were taken to Northeast Delhi’s Nand Nagri police station, where Yadav later died that night.Yadav’s family alleged that he had been beaten up in custody by the police. The FIR against the four police officers was registered after a magisterial enquiry found that the man had died of a head injury, caused “possibly by blunt force impact”.“We registered a case under sections of murder on Thursday. The role of four policemen who were involved in Yadav’s arrest at the time will be investigated. The case was registered after we found he had sustained a blunt force injury on his head,” a senior police officer told the Indian Express on Monday.The head constable Abhishek and constables Udham Singh and Vishal were suspended last year in connection with the case. The FIR filed also mentions assistant sub-inspector Devender, whose alleged role is yet to be ascertained.Also read: Custodial Torture Continues Unabated in India Amidst Culture of Impunity: ReportThe police had claimed Yadav was arrested under the Excise Act for allegedly carrying 17 boxes of illicit liquor. Around 10:30 pm, Yadav told the police officers that he was feeling uneasy after which he fell on the floor, unconscious. He was subsequently rushed to GTB Hospital, where he was declared dead.“Police must have beaten him up because we weren’t told about the illness and were only called after he died,” Yadav’s father, Ram Gulam Yadav said.During the inquiry, head constable Abhishek initially told the magistrate that he “released the deceased (Yadav) to go home and no legal proceedings were conducted against him but he started feeling ill.” However, later on, he changed his statement and claimed that “no arrestee was handed over to him on June 6 and he never met Govinda”.The doctors who carried out the post-mortem said that the “cause of death was head injury produced possibly by blunt force impact”. Nayeem, who was also arrested by the police along with Yadav said that he was kept separately from Yadav on the first floor and found out later on that he had been taken to the hospital.Yadav’s father claimed that the police had tortured him and asked the family to furnish Rs 15,000 for his bail. “They didn’t let any of us meet him… Later, when Govinda’s sister went to meet him, policemen demanded money… He wasn’t suffering from any disease,” he said.Yadav’s family also said that he was a daily wager and the only earning member in the family. “We attended a court session in July this year and told the MM about the case — how the policemen harassed us and tried to extort money. We hope justice will be done,” his father said.
