New Delhi, July 16

Following the suicide of a 17-year-old girl in police station, police chief Amulya Patnaik must justify the presence of the victim in the police station at midnight and her suicide in the police’s presence, AAP said.

AAP spokesperson Atishi Marlena raised few questions on the police, first being the detention of a minor at midnight even after knowing that the law does not allow the police to detain any female after eight in the evening. Second, why was the girl kept in the lock-up late at night away from her parents? Third, why did the police officers run away after seeing the girl hanging instead of saving her? Fourth, why the in-charge of police station not been arrested yet?

Tilak Nagar MLA Jarnail Singh said the helpless girl hanged herself to death in the police station when the police locked her brother in the cell after arguments with the other party in support of his sister. No police officer came to rescue her but watched her dying.

AAP national spokesperson Richa Pandey Mishra mentioned that the case of custodial death is not new for Delhi. 

The data of last ten months state that over 1,680 such cases have been registered in the country.
