New Delhi: A young man arrested on the charge of sexual harassing a minor girl allegedly committed suicide on Tuesday in an east Delhi police station, following which three ASIs and one SI were suspended and an Inspector sent to police lines.

Deepak, 19, was found hanging from the ceiling of a lock-up in Karawal Nagar police station by a constable around 10am.

The man’s family, however, said Deepak could not commit suicide and demanded a fair probe.

“Deepak was taken to nearby Guru Tegh Bahadur Hospital, where he was declared brought dead. He was arrested on Monday evening in a 2017 case in which he was absconding. The complainant girl’s statement had been registered before a Magistrate,” Deputy Commissioner of Police AK Singla told IANS.

A resident of Shiv Vihar in Karawal Nagar, Deepak was involved in three to four criminal cases, he said.

Forensic and Crime Branch teams were called to the spot. A Metropolitan Magistrate is also conducting an inquiry, who will soon submit a report.

“Assistant Sub-Inspectors (ASIs) Satish, Jasbir, and Rambir, and Sub-Inspector (SI) Sandeep were suspended with immediate effect for negligence and misconduct, while Inspector Narender was sent to police lines,” the officer said.
