This is a case from March 2016, where a 21-year-old man in Delhi, died by suicide after being detained and allegedly tortured by authorities over a robbery case.The man, identified as Suraj Thakur who was an University student, hanged himself at his home in West Delhi’s Hari Nagar area. It happened hours after Delhi police questioned him about a phone-snatching incident involving his friends. Police took Thakur’s phone without informing his family and threatened and tortured him during his detainment, Neeraj, his 18-year-old brother, claimed.Thakur went straight to his room and hanged himself after he was released, added Neeraj.“I didn’t do anything wrong. I am innocent. My parents’ reputation is at stake. I am depressed. I am committing suicide and I am responsible for this. I won’t blame anyone. No one is responsible for this,” Thakur said in a video shared online by his family.Before his death, Thakur also claimed in his video that he was “harassed” by police.Police have since denied the allegations and claimed they only called Thakur in for questioning before he was released.An investigation into the incident is ongoing and “appropriate legal action” will be taken, Gautam said.Thakur is survived by his mother, a housewife; his father, a laborer; Neeraj and one more sibling.
