APCR demands investigation by Human Right Commission into custodial death in Davangere
Davangere: The Association for Protection of Civil Rights (APCR) has called for an urgent investigation into the alleged custodial death of Adil, a 30-year-old resident of Tipu Nagar in Channagiri, Karnataka. In a letter addressed to the Chairperson of the Human Rights Commission, the organization has demanded a thorough and impartial probe into the incident.
According to the APCR, Adil was detained by police on May 24, 2024, for his supposed involvement in gambling activities. However, Adil was pronounced dead while in police custody later that night. The circumstances surrounding his death have sparked unrest in the local community.
Following the announcement of Adil’s death, a violent mob attacked the Channagiri police station, setting several vehicles on fire. The crowd alleges that Adil's death resulted from police misconduct, leading to widespread calls for accountability and justice.
The APCR has emphasized the seriousness of the allegations and the need for a comprehensive investigation by the Human Rights Commission. The organization has insisted that only a detailed examination of the facts will ensure justice for Adil and provide justice to his grieving family.
"We urge the Human Rights Commission to uphold its commitment to safeguarding human rights and ensuring justice for all citizens, irrespective of caste, creed, or religion," the APCR stated in their letter.

Fake notes with 'movie shooting purpose only' written on them send police into tizzy in Sirsi
Sirsi (Karnataka), Apr 8 (PTI): The police in Uttar Kannada went into a tizzy on Tuesday after they found fake currency notes of Rs 500 denomination from a house in Dandeli with 'movie shooting purpose only' written on them.
Based on a tip-off, police searched a rented house at Gandhinagar in Dandeli and confiscated the fake currency notes along with a money counting machine.
Arshad Khan, who is said to be from Goa, was staying as a tenant in the house belonging to Noorjan Jhunjuwadkar, police said.
Police were informed after Jhunjuwadkar noticed that Khan was absent from the house for the past one month.
The fake currency notes had the inscription 'Reverse Bank of India' on them, but did not have the signature of the RBI governor, police said.
The notes were printed on a shining paper with only zeros written in the place of the number, and 'movie shooting purpose only' inscribed on them, police said.
A hunt is on to trace Khan to question him about the seizure, they added.
