ASP facing custody death probe missing

Kheri Superintendent of Police Amit Chandra said ASP Pratap sought permission for a day’s leave for July 4. He did not turn up for duty next day,but an application sent by his wife was received through fax on July 5. The application stated Pratap was unwell. No further contact was made on behalf of the ASP since then and now he was replaced by another ASP this week,Chandra said.

The case against ASP Ajay Pratap is related to a robbery of Rs 1.25 lakh from Sushil Verma,a salesman of Sidhha petrol pump in Jahangirabad area of Barabanki,on June 24,2009. The police brought Verma for interrogation at the local police station on June 26 suspecting his role behind the robbery. Verma’s condition deteriorated in police custody and he was declared brought dead at the district hospital next day.

A case of murder was registered against then Circle Officer Dharmendra Sachan,Station Officer Anand Singh and four other policemen. The ASP’s name was included in the case following the court’s intervention later and the government ordered a CB-CID probe in July,2009.
