Custodial death of Muslim man triggers protests in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal

Sambhal: Protests erupted in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, following the custodial death of a Muslim youth, Irfan, whose body was discovered at the Rai Satti police outpost under Nakasa police station.

Irfan, a resident of Kaggu Sarai, was detained on Sunday night in connection with an unspecified case. His family alleges foul play and claims that Irfan died due to police torture.

According to eyewitnesses and viral videos, Irfan’s wife and parents were inconsolable upon receiving news of his death. The situation escalated when locals gathered at the police outpost, and it was revealed that the policemen had allegedly abandoned the post, leaving Irfan’s body unattended.

A senior police official arrived at the scene, dispersing the crowd and arranging for Irfan’s body to be sent for a postmortem examination.

Irfan’s wife alleged that the police provided no reason for his arrest, stating, “They picked him up from our home without explanation, and when he fell unwell, they denied him medical aid.”

The incident has further fueled anger over custodial deaths and alleged police brutality in the state.
