Singtam Custodial D@ath Case: Family Speaks Out as Inquiry Continues; SC Board President Appeals for Justice

Darjee, a resident of Golitar, Singtam, had been detained under the NDPS Act a day before he was found d@ad inside the police lock-up at around 5 AM on Wednesday. Following the incident, three police personnel were suspended pending the outcome of the judicial inquiry and departmental investigation.

Meanwhile, Sikkim Scheduled Caste Board President Shekar Sewa has submitted a representation to the authorities, urging that justice be delivered and that appropriate action be taken against any police personnel found guilty of negligence or misconduct during the investigation.

Speaking on the matter, Sewa said that after reviewing the available CCTV footage from the police station, he is convinced that Darjee took his own life and appealed to the public not to make premature allegations against the police. However, he added that the suspension of the three police personnel is a necessary step to ensure a fair and transparent investigation.

Sewa further stated that if the ongoing inquiry establishes negligence or wrongdoing by any police personnel, the organisation will take a strong stand and seek strict action against those responsible.
