Anger is brewing against the police after it was found in the post-mortem report that Tamir Jifri, the 30-year-old youth who reportedly died in police custody at Tanur on August 1, had been a victim of brutal physical torture.
Tamir’s family said they would fight the police legally. “This was brutal. Those responsible for the death of Tamir should get the punishment they deserve. It should not be a minor punishment like a suspension,” said the victim’s brother Haris Jifri.
Mr. Jifri also rejected the police claim that Tamir suffered from a heart ailment. He said Tamir had no history of heart ailment, and that the police were creating stories to save the culprits.
