Alleged suicide of drunk Man in custody sparks controversy in Bihar's munger

A 22-year-old man, Aman Kumar Mandal, detained on charges of consuming liquor, was allegedly found hanging in the toilet of the newly built excise police station in Bihar's Munger district.

The incident, occurring around 1:30 am on Friday, has stirred controversy as the family members of the deceased accused the police of torture in custody, leading to the alleged suicide.

Excise superintendent Suman Kumar refuted the charges, asserting that Mandal died by suicide. The arrest was part of a raid against liquor traders and buyers, reflecting Bihar's state-wide prohibition on the sale, purchase, consumption, and manufacture of alcohol since April 2016.

Excise officials and police broke the bathroom door open and found Mandal hanging. “He was immediately rushed to Sadar hospital but was declared brought dead by the doctors,” said the excise superintendent, adding that a medical board conducted the post-mortem of the deceased to ascertain the exact cause of his death.
