Delhi court orders probe into custodial death of man in Subhash Place police station

A Delhi court has ordered a magisterial inquiry into the alleged custodial death of a 28-year-old man at the Subhash Place police station in North-West Delhi. The man was found dead in the police station's washroom, with the police claiming it was a case of suicide. However, the family of the deceased has alleged foul play and torture, prompting the court's intervention. The inquiry, to be conducted by a Metropolitan Magistrate, will investigate the circumstances leading to the death, examine the role of the police personnel on duty, and scrutinize the CCTV footage from the police station. This judicial oversight is mandatory in cases of custodial death to ensure an impartial investigation and uphold the principles of accountability. The probe's findings will be crucial in determining the actual cause of death and ensuring that justice is served.
