Bihar: Man wanted for 30 years dies shortly after arrest; family alleges torture

Hindustan Times  

A 55-year-old murder case accused, who was at large for 30 years, died hours after his arrest in Bihar’s Samastipur district, prompting his family to allege that he was tortured in police custody. Rejecting the charge, the police said the condition of Krishna Bhagwan Jha alias Tunna Jha started deteriorating soon after he was arrested and he died in the intervening night of Tuesday and Wednesday. “The cause of his death can only be ascertained after the post-mortem examination report comes,” Assistant Superintendent of Police Sanjay Pandey told reporters. Alleging that Jha was beaten up in police custody leading to his death, his family members and locals staged a protest near the district hospital on Tuesday night and demanded action against the erring personnel.
