Mohsin's Nightmare Begins,
On June 4, 2015, Mohsin was taken into custody by the Crime Branch and handed over to the TT Nagar Police Station, where he faced severe torture.
Alleged Torture and Bribe Demands:
According to court findings, Mohsin was subjected to:
- Third-degree torture
- Electric shocks while wearing a helmet
- Physical assault and restraint
Police officials allegedly demanded a ₹2 lakh bribe from Mohsin's family, escalating the situation when they couldn't meet the demands.
Mohsin was falsely charged and imprisoned in Bhopal Central Jail, where he faced further physical assault, leading to his death on June 23, 2015.
Mohsin was labeled mentally deranged, raising suspicions, as experts argue that a person accused of chain snatching is unlikely to suddenly become mentally challenged.
Fabricated Medical Report:
A fabricated medical report supposedly declared Mohsin mentally challenged, sparking controversy.
After Mohsin's death, his lifeless body was sent to Gwalior for "mental treatment" and eventually declared dead at Jaya Arogya Hospital.
Seema Rais, Mohsin's mother, seeks justice, haunted by her son's death, false accusations, and alleged police involvement.
Court Orders Charges:
The court has ordered charges against:
- Police station in-charge
- Sub-inspector
- Two assistant sub-inspectors
- Jailer
- Doctor
Yawar Khan, representing Mohsin's family, highlights the court's detailed order exposing Mohsin's brutality and the need for strict punishment, including conspiracy and murder charges.
National Statistics:
According to government statistics, Madhya Pradesh recorded 50 deaths in police custody in five years, with 687 such deaths nationwide during the same period.
Former Police Official's Statement:
Shailendra Srivastava, former special director general of police, condemns custodial deaths and third-degree torture as gross human rights violations, emphasizing severe consequences for both victims and the police force.
