The postmortem of a Dalit man, who allegedly died in Barmer police custody near here three days ago, was conducted on Sunday after his agitating family members called off their protest and allowed the autopsy on assurance of a Rs 25 lakh compensation and a government job to one of them.

Victim Jeetu Khateek's post mortem, which had been stalled by his agitating family members since Thursday, was conducted by a medical board in presence of a judicial magistrate, said an official.

Barmer District Collector Ansh Deep said, "A compensation of Rs 25 lakh will be provided to the victim's family members."
