Murder FIR Against 10 Cops After Lawyer Falls to Death During Raid
An FIR has been registered against ten policemen, including a station house officer (SHO) and a sub-inspector, in connection with the death of lawyer Sunil Sharma, during a police raid.
Police commissioner J Ravinder Goud also suspended New Agra police station SHO Rajeev Singh and sub-inspector Anurag Singh following the incident.
Sharma, 48, had died after falling from the eighth floor of Mangalam Aadhar Apartments in Sikandra during a police raid on Friday evening.
Cops claimed Sharma was attempting to escape from the balcony of an adjacent flat when he slipped and fell.
The incident sparked protests by the legal fraternity, who demanded action against the policemen involved.
According to the FIR registered based on a complaint filed by Sharma’s wife, Sunita, 10 cops forcibly entered their residence by breaking open the door and started abusing the occupants.
“They dragged my husband to flat number 802, adjacent to our own, where he died after being pushed from the balcony.
The policemen also took away important documents from our apartment and destroyed evidence,” the complaint said.
The FIR was registered under various IPC sections including 302 (murder), 147 (rioting), 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence), 342 (wrongful confinement), 427 (causing damage to property), and 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace).
