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.
