A young man’s extended detention by police in Jamshedpur is raising serious questions about police procedures and accountability. Animesh Mahato was held by the Parsudih police for 27 days in connection with a case involving brown sugar, a type of illegal drug. He was taken into custody for questioning in the Vidyasagar Palli area, near Mahato Marriage Hall.
Mahato’s family says that police have not formally arrested him or released him. Because of this, they are concerned about whether the police followed the correct legal processes. This situation has led to increased scrutiny of how the Parsudih police are handling the case.
Adding to the complexity, the family has accused the police of demanding a bribe for Mahato’s release. They claim the police asked for ₹1 lakh (one lakh rupees) to let him go free. These allegations of extortion have further intensified the scrutiny on the Parsudih police and their investigation.
This case underscores the importance of police accountability and transparency in Jamshedpur. The prolonged detention and the bribery accusations warrant a thorough investigation. A fair inquiry is needed to ensure justice is served and to maintain the public’s trust in the police. The focus remains on determining if the Jamshedpur police station followed proper legal procedures.
