Allahabad High Court Denies Bail to Four Cops in 2021 Jaunpur Custodial Death Case
The Allahabad High Court has denied bail to four Uttar Pradesh police officers accused in the 2021 custodial death of Krishna Kumar Yadav in Jaunpur. The CBI chargesheet alleges the officers inflicted grievous injuries to extract a confession, leading to Yadav's death, and falsified records to misrepresent the cause. Charges under sections including murder and conspiracy were framed against 11 police personnel. The case was transferred to the CBI following a high court directive in 2021, with medical evidence supporting allegations of torture.
