A constable of the Central Armed Police Forces died in Bijapur, and his relatives have claimed the death was a homicide, prompting a police inquiry.
A constable serving in the Central Armed Police Forces was found dead in Bijapur earlier this week. The circumstances of his death have raised questions among his relatives, who say the incident was not accidental.
The constable's family has formally alleged that the death was a murder, filing a complaint with local authorities and demanding a thorough investigation. They contend that signs at the scene point to foul play rather than a natural or accidental cause.
Police in Bijapur have registered a First Information Report (FIR) based on the family's allegations and have begun a forensic examination of the body. Officials said the case will be investigated under the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, and an autopsy report will be awaited to determine the exact cause of death.
The incident has drawn attention to the safety of CAPF personnel stationed away from their home states, though no official comment has been released by the force regarding the incident at this stage.
