Disturbing allegations of police brutality surface after a CISF jawan from Gaya Airport died mysteriously in Haryana custody. Vaishali native Mukesh Singh’s family accuses officers of forced arrest sans warrant and fatal assault, dismissing heart attack claims as cover-up.
Eyewitness account from son Nilesh: Father on routine airport garden patrol when Haryana Police intervened abruptly yesterday. Mere hours passed before the dreaded news—heart failure. ‘Impossible for my healthy father,’ Nilesh fumed, filing at Magadh Medical amid DSP Dharmendra Bharti’s presence.
Official stance: Medical Thana’s Krishna Singh affirms legal process—warrant shared with CISF for Bahadurgarh fraud summons, smooth custody transfer. Postmortem examination holds the key to unraveling the truth.
The fraud case harks back years, marked by Mukesh’s futile court appearances. His wife’s raw grief: ‘They picked him forcibly from duty and pummeled him to death.’
Amid rising public clamor, this episode underscores urgent needs for body cams, oversight boards, and zero-tolerance for custodial violence. Postmortem results could indict or exonerate, but the damage to trust in uniform is profound. Families demand nothing less than full accountability.
