BHUBANESWAR: Taking a strong note of police excess, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) asked the DG (Investigation) to submit the inquiry report into the custodial death at Iswarpur police outpost under Nilagiri police station in Baleswar district.
One Ajay Kumar Biswal (50) of Bankipada village under Nilagiri Police limit in the district has died in police custody in Iswarpur police outpost on November 23 last year. The police detained Biswal in a very silly case. But day after detention, his body was found lying on a paddy field at Andira village. It was suspected that after severe torture, Biswal died in police outpost and his body had been thrown outside.
Akhand on behalf of India Media Centre has filed a petition before NHRC. Considering it NHRC ordered to its DG (I) to collect the requisite reports from the concerned authority within eight weeks. The petitioner has prayed for compensation of Rs 10 lakh for victim’s family and case against the guilty officer including Baleswar SP. On behalf of India Media Centre, advocate Nishikant Mishra is conducting the case.
