Bassi promises action in Nand Nagri death case

Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi on Friday assured action in the “mysterious” death of a man while being taken to a police station in North Delhi’s Nand Nagri, a day after the District Magistrate probing the case suspected “use of force” by the cops.

“A judicial inquiry has been initiated into the case. Whatever action is required will be taken,” Bassi said.

The District Magistrate had on Thursday not ruled out “use of force” by the cops. He said he was also probing why the victim’s wife was allegedly made to stay at police station till late night. Sources said that in his interim findings, DM (Shahdara) Abhishek Singh has termed the death of <g data-gr-id="16">Shanu</g> Shahnawaz Chaudhary (35) “unnatural” and the role of 12-13 police personnel who took him to hospital is under the scanner.

Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has ordered a magisterial probe into the death of Chaudhary after area MLA Rajendra Gautam and locals complained the Delhi government about the incident.
Chaudhary died on Monday under “mysterious circumstances” while being taken to a police station, after he intervened in a fight between a couple and police.
