Case Against 2 UP Police Officials After Man Falls Off Roof During Raid
In a village in Uttar Pradesh, a man named Satyabhan, who was 55 years old, reportedly died after falling from his roof.
His family says that police officers came to their house late at night to arrest his son.
The family claims the police broke down the door, were rude, and pushed Satyabhan off the roof while he was trying to stop them.
Satyabhan was injured and later died.
However, the police say they never went inside the house and that the man didn't fall because of them.
They also say a doctor's report shows he died from a heart problem.
A case has been filed against two police officers based on the family's complaint, and investigations are ongoing.
Two police officials, including a sub-inspector, are booked after a 55-year-old man, Satyabhan, died during a police raid in Tilhar.
Satyabhan's family alleges he was pushed from his roof by police after they broke into his home, leading to his death during treatment.
Police deny entering the house or pushing Satyabhan, stating they left after learning the accused son was in Delhi.
A post-mortem report cited cardiac arrest as the cause of death, a finding disputed by the family who shared a video of an injured Satyabhan claiming police assault.
A case has been registered against Sub-Inspector Rahul Sisodia and a constable under relevant sections of law, including the SC/ST Act.
