Custodial Tragedy: Man Dies After Detention, Sparks Outcry in Rajasthan

A man detained at a police station in Baran, Rajasthan, died after his health declined severely overnight. The arrest stemmed from a domestic violence complaint by his family that cited alcohol influence, officials reported.

Following his detention, his condition worsened during the night, necessitating medical care before being returned to the station. His health deteriorated further early Thursday, leading to his death at a hospital.

The incident prompted Baran police to take disciplinary actions against five policemen and announce a magisterial inquiry to determine the death's cause. Family protests delayed the post-mortem until assurances of compensation and justice were secured.
