The entire staff, including the SHO of Halena police station in the district, were shunted to police lines after the death of a complainant under suspicious circumstances.
The entire staff of 24 policemen were shifted to police lines after a man Kishore Jogi (60), who had registered a complaint against five locals recently after his tractor was stolen, was found dead in the police station yesterday morning, official sources said.
On Tuesday, both Jogi and the accused were called at the police station for a settlement but Jogi refused to settle the matter and wanted legal action against the accused.
"After the meeting, which ended late on Tuesday night, Jogi fearing attack on him by the accused expressed wish to spend the night in the police station so he was allowed to stay in police station. Next morning, he was found dead in a cell," police sources said.
Jogi's family alleged that he was murdered and demanded FIR against the policemen.
However, the policemen claimed that it was a case of suicide, they said, adding the cause of the death would be clear only after postmortem.
