UP court orders reopening of custodial death case against 8 policemen

A court here has ordered reopening of a custodial death case of a 36-year-old man in 2021 in which eight policemen are facing murder charges, observing that the probe appears "incomplete" and "flawed". Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Sudha Yadav dismissed the narrative of the police that the deceased Ziauddin died of a heart attack, pointing out to the deep injury marks found on the body of the deceased. "The deceased's age is mentioned as 36 years in the case, and there is no evidence of any serious illness in the deceased's past, nor is there any mention of alcohol or drug use by the deceased that could have led to his death. The investigation conducted by the police on these points appears to be incomplete and flawed," the court said in its order on October 4. A murder case was filed against eight policemen from the Sammanpur police station on March 26, 2021 regarding the death of Ziauddin who was in police custody at Sammanpu police station. The custodial death took place on Ma
