AGRA: The family of 55-year-old Sageer Khan, a resident of Aligarh’s Jamunka village in Chandos, in a video circulated on social media on Saturday accused police of "beating him to death while in custody". But, hours later they retracted from their statement and instead lodged a police complaint against their relatives accusing them of killing Khan. Police denied the allegations.
In the purported video, Khan’s son Nasir made serious allegations that his father was brutally beaten up and tortured by police and was not even provided drinking water, though he begged for it. Nasir claimed that police have sent the body for postmortem without informing the family.
