Six Police Officers Suspended After Custodial Death of Man in Bihar
Six police personnel in Bihar's West Champaran district have been suspended following the custodial death of 25-year-old Dilshad Ansari, arrested under narcotics charges. Police claim Ansari sustained fatal injuries after allegedly jumping from a moving vehicle while in custody. However, his family disputes this, alleging he was killed and calling for a high-level inquiry. Authorities have referred Ansari to a hospital where he was declared dead, and activists have urged human rights intervention and compensation for his family.
