On July 15, 1996, a newspaper reported the death of an undertrial, Yasin Ahmed, under “mysterious circumstance”. He had been in jail for slightly under three months. PUDR team conducted a fact-finding investigation and met jail officials, Yasin’s family members and the SDM Punjabi Bagh who is conducting an inquiry into the death under S. 176. PUDR concludes that Yasin’s death was a custodial death for which authorities in Tihar Jail were directly or indirectly responsible.
