Paradip: The family of a youth, who died under mysterious circumstances after he was allegedly picked by Abhaychandapur police in Paradip on Saturday, have alleged custodial death.
The youth was identified as Manoranjan Gedi.
Gedi’s family has alleged that he was picked up by the police in a narcotics case and was tortured.
Alleging that the post-mortem was conducted hurriedly at night, the youth’s family alleged that the police told them that he had died in an accident. Family members questioned why the police took him to a hospital in Jagatsinghpur instead of Paradip.
“My son was never involved in any criminal activity. He was home the entire day. He left with one of his friends in the evening. Initially, police didn’t allow me to see his body. I suspect foul play,” the youth’s father was quoted as saying.
Abhaychandur police station IIC Jibanananda Jena said that two youths on a motorcycle were carrying brown sugar. While one of them was caught, the other youth tried to flee but fell down from the bike.
