Lucknow. The case of Mohit Pandey’s death in police custody four days ago in the capital Lucknow is taking on a political tinge. State Congress president Ajay Rai said the spate of custodial deaths continues. After incidents in different districts, there has now been a death of a detainee in the capital.
He said this incident shows that the police have become killers instead of protectors. The Chief Minister should take responsibility for the custodial death case and resign from office. He was speaking to reporters after meeting Mohit Pandey’s family members in Chinhat. Ajay Rai met Mohit Pandey’s family members and consoled them and assured that Congress will be ready to support them at all times. During it, the president of Congress said that this is the second case of death of a detainee in the capital in 15 days. Earlier, Aman Gautam of Vikas Nagar had died in custody. He alleged that while Diwali is celebrated everywhere, the police have created darkness in this house. The insensitivity was so great that no government representative came to Aman’s house. Rai said this government is adding to people’s problems by claiming to provide help.
