Death for former police office
NEW DELHI: Perhaps for the first time in the history of the Delhi police, a fast track court here on Friday awarded capital punishment to a former Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) for torturing a youth to death at the Vivek Vihar Police Station in east Delhi in 1987.
Additional Sessions Judge Rajendra Kumar said "convict R.P. Tyagi be hanged by the neck till he is dead."
The court also sentenced ACP (retd.) K.P. Singh to one-year rigorous imprisonment for refusing to lodge a first information report even after a direction by a Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM). It also imposed a fine of Rs. 25,000, of which Rs. 15,000 would go to the mother of deceased Mahender Kumar.
Inspector Tej Singh was also sentenced to three-year rigorous imprisonment for framing an incorrect record 218 of IPC. A fine of Rs. 25,000 was imposed on him and from this, Rs. 15,000 would go to Kumar's mother.
Mahender Kumar was beaten up so severely in the lock-up that he died of his injuries at the LNJP Hospital here. He and his friend, Ram Kumar, were held for causing minor injuries to a couple, the charge sheet said.
Though Ram Kumar managed to escape from the hospital, the police allegedly eliminated him after some time. Though the SDM ordered registration of a case, the police did not do so. Finally, the Crime Branch lodged a case on the directions of a lower court on a complaint by Mahender Kumar's family.
