Tragedy struck at Bihar’s Gaya Airport as CISF personnel Mukesh Singh from Vaishali breathed his last in Haryana Police custody. Family members are in mourning and fury, accusing the police of abduction and murder. They insist no arrest warrant was shown when officers swooped in on his duty post yesterday evening.
Son Nilesh recounts the harrowing timeline: Haryana team arrived unannounced, bundled his father away, and soon after claimed a fatal heart attack. ‘He was perfectly healthy—no history of heart problems,’ Nilesh told reporters outside Magadh Medical Thana, where they’ve lodged a complaint without action so far. DSP Dharmendra Bharti is probing, but skepticism runs high.
Police version differs sharply. Medical Thana Inspector Krishna Singh says Haryana officers coordinated with CISF brass, presented warrant details for a Bahadurgarh fraud case, and received the suspect formally. Postmortem underway could clarify if foul play was involved.
Mukesh had prior dealings with Haryana Police over the old scam but felt justice was denied. His wife’s piercing words: ‘They dragged him from work and beat him senseless.’ This incident spotlights recurring custodial death concerns, urging swift judicial intervention.
With the nation watching, authorities face pressure to deliver transparency. The postmortem report will be pivotal, potentially exposing lapses or confirming natural causes amid conflicting narratives.
