Man dies in RPF custody, family alleges torture
A 35-year-old man from Uttar Pradesh’s Gonda died while in the custody of the Railway Protection Force (RPF), with his family claiming he was tortured during questioning.
Sanjay Sonkar was detained on Tuesday by RPF personnel for questioning in connection with a theft case. According to his relatives, he was beaten and subjected to electric shocks during interrogation. After being taken to Gonda Medical College, doctors declared him dead.
The family also alleged that the RPF left his body in the mortuary without informing them. They have accused the officers of mistreating Sanjay while he was in their custody.
RPF Assistant Security Commissioner Mahendra Prasad Dubey stated that Sanjay’s condition deteriorated during questioning. He added that the exact cause of death would be determined after a post-mortem examination.
Following a complaint lodged by Sanjay’s brother, the police have registered a murder case against two RPF sub-inspectors, a constable, and others.
