Behind the blackened facade of the two-storeyed Kotkhai police station, 60 km from Shimla, are several unanswered questions over a custodial death that triggered protests across the state. Several of these questions are being directed at the police force: where was the police station’s staff when the victim, Suraj Singh, 29, a Nepalese national and one of the six accused in the gangrape and murder of a 16-year-old schoolgirl, was attacked, allegedly by main accused Rajendra Singh alias Raju?
Another question being asked now is, why didn’t Subhash, who was presumably in the same cell as Suraj and Raju when the incident happened, raise an alarm and call the duty guard or other policemen?
Sources in the police said that minutes before the incident, they had interrogated Subhash on the first floor of the police station.
On July 25, over a week after Suraj’s death, the CBI conducted a second post-mortem on his body. With much of the evidence in the police station feared to have been destroyed in the fire, much depends on the post-mortem report, said former Director General of Police, I D Bhandari.
“In cases of custodial deaths, the post-mortem report is a very strong evidence, even more than circumstantial evidence. The findings of the report will certainly lead to firm conclusions on whether his co-accused killed Suraj or if there is a police hand,” he said.
