A Prantiya Rakshak Dal (PRD) jawan, identified as Praveen Singh, was found dead in the lockup of a Dehradun police station after being detained in connection with a local dispute.
Authorities initially claimed the death was a suicide, stating the jawan used his clothing to hang himself while in the holding cell.
The family of the deceased has vehemently rejected the suicide theory, alleging custodial torture and murder, pointing to suspicious circumstances and the victim's physical state.
Following the public outcry and gravity of the situation, a high-level judicial or departmental inquiry has been ordered to determine the exact cause of death.
A postmortem examination was conducted by a panel of doctors and video-recorded to ensure transparency and gather forensic evidence regarding the injuries.
