Mohammed Jaffer who had attempted suicide due to alleged police harassment and atrocities at Kalapathar died while undergoing treatment at Osmania Hospital.
Mohammed Jaffer had jumped from the balcony of his house located at Jahanuma when he was brought to his house by Kalapathar Police for collecting the demanded amount of Rs. 50,000. State Human right commission had directed commissioner police to take personal note of the suicide attempt case and conduct probe. But the police avoided better treatment of severely injured Mohammed Jaffer as a result he succumbed to injuries.
Tension prevailed at Osmania hospital following Mohammed Jaffer’s death when his relatives protested against police excesses. The woman also expressed anger over apathy of local political leaders and alleged that the local leaders avoided support despite complaint of police harassment and are shedding crocodile tears after victim’s death.
