Rai said ”according to the report presented in the Lok Sabha recently, every day, six people are dying in police custody in the country. Uttar Pradesh is at number one in this matter. In 2021-22, as many as 501 people have died in police custody in UP alone, which is a symbol of the anarchy prevailing in the state.”
The UP Congress president said recently in Jalaun district, a person named Rajkumar died mysteriously in police custody. According to media reports, in Chitrakoot also a person named Anshu Kumar was arrested by the police, whose body was later found on the tracks of Panhai railway station.
