A young man’s death in police custody in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, has ignited protests and demands for a thorough investigation. Shivam Jha, a resident of Kalwari Chandrabhawan village, was arrested on suspicion of motorcycle theft. Tragically, he died while in police custody, leading his family and fellow villagers to accuse the police of wrongdoing.
Police say Shivam and his friends were brought in for questioning about the alleged theft. They claim Shivam took his own life while in the lock-up. But Shivam’s family strongly disputes this account and believes he was beaten to death while detained. The family insists on an impartial investigation to uncover the truth behind his death.
The family’s anger stems from their conviction that Shivam was a victim of police brutality. They say the police’s suicide story is untrue. This tragic event brings to light serious concerns about how detainees are treated and the procedures followed during police custody.
This situation underscores the importance of accountability and openness within the police custody system. It is essential to protect the safety and well-being of individuals who are detained. The investigation must carefully examine all aspects of the case, including the arrest, the detention period, and the circumstances leading to Shivam Jha’s death.
