In Nagpur, a goon dies after police arrive to arrest him

Nagpur: A 26-year-old goon Shaikh Imran alias Imran Katta has died under very mysterious circumstances after falling from his third floor apartment in Uppalwadi’s New MHADA Colony during a police raid on Sunday.

The local police had taken the matter very lightly without informing CP Amitesh Kumar till Imran died in the Government Medical College and Hospital on Monday.

It has also been learned that Devlapar police and some colleagues from Kapil Nagar police station went to Imran’s apartment in connection with the illegal slaughter of cows. And at the same time, the police had also taken civilian Mahesh Lambat along with them. There was no female police personnel in the private vehicle at all.

While the family members have also claimed that the police had barged into the house and thrashed Imran, forcing him to try to escape from the balcony. And during the fallout of the scuffle, the police, in their routine entry at the Kapil Nagar police station, stated that they were not entering the apartment and only intended to serve a notice.

“My husband was thrashed by the police before he tried to escape. The police barged into the room without any female personnel,” alleged Shaba, wife of Imran.

“The policemen fled from the spot after my husband fell. They did not help me in taking him to the hospital.

Angry mob gathered at the Kapil Nagar police station

The police, led by sub-inspector Keshav Kunjawar of Devlapar police station, also mentioned in the station diaries that the crowd was turning aggressive and they were unarmed, due to which they had to leave.

Nagpur Rural SP Vishal Anand has also said that the police had not entered the house at all, but were only trying to serve the notice.

“We are probing the matter to find out if there was any lapse in procedures,” the SP said adding that policemen were only doing their duty.

Imran’s father Irfan has said that the family needs compensation as his only son was the sole breadwinner.

Sources have also said that Imran was injured but was conscious till he reached Mayo Hospital, from where he was referred to GMCH, where he was declared brought dead on Monday.

An angry mob gathered at the Kapil Nagar police station where a case of accidental death was registered. The post-mortem has been done in the presence of the magistrate.
