Khan, who was in police custody in Faridabad in connection with a cybercrime case, passed away at the hospital to which he was transported after complaining of “difficulty in breathing and weakness,” according to the police.

The family has accused the police of torturing them while they were in custody, an officer stated under the condition of anonymity.

Sube Singh, a spokesman for the Faridabad police, reported that Khan told officers on Friday that he felt weak and had trouble breathing.

“He was immediately taken to a hospital where doctors advised him necessary medications,” the police reported.On Sunday morning, he was brought back to the hospital, but he passed away while receiving care.

According to the police, Khan and four other people were detained on Thursday after a resident of Faridabad reported being defrauded of Rs 1.9 lakh at the cybercrime police station NIT.

The allegations of mistreatment in the custody were untrue, according to the case’s investigating official, sub-inspector Rajesh Kumar.
