Bengal: 5 cops face probe for BJP worker’s death

According to sources, the inquiry was initiated after Roy’s family registered a complaint. The family accused the officials of beating up Roy to death.

Last week, the police had dismissed the allegations and claimed that the BJP worker fell unconscious after suffering a “brain haemorrhage”. He was taken to a hospital where he declared dead.

“He had no injury. The post-mortem report says he died of brain haemorrhage. We have CCTV cameras that can be checked. He could have died due to palpitation. There can be many reasons for brain haemorrhage. He was into drugs,” Uttar Dinajpur SP Sumit Kumar told The Indian Express on Thursday.
