Investigation Pending as Families Alleged Police Assault in Custody Case

Relatives of the deceased youth gathered in large numbers outside Champa police station, accusing the police of assaulting the victim before his death. According to officials, the young man’s health deteriorated while in custody, leading to his transfer to a hospital where he later died. The family’s claim of police brutality remains unverified pending a post‑mortem report and a formal inquiry. The recent transfer of senior officers, including the removal of Inspector Vaishnav, has been viewed by some as an attempt to facilitate a smoother investigation.
