Man found dead in Rajasthan police custody
A 28-year-old man named Manish Pande died by suicide while in police custody at a Jaipur station on Saturday.
He'd been picked up for allegedly trying to steal a vehicle and was reportedly drunk at the time.
Police say he used a piece of cloth to hang himself while officers were occupied elsewhere.
TL;DR
Family demands proper investigation
Pande's family protested outside the mortuary, refusing to accept his body until they were promised a proper investigation.
In response, several officers have been removed from their posts and a judicial inquiry is underway to look into what happened during his time in custody.
