Ghaziabad:
A suspect in a robbery-cum-double-murder case was found dead on Sunday in a police lockup in Ghaziabad, hours before he was to be presented in a court, police said. His father has alleged his son died following police torture.
Vineesh Sharma, 30, a resident of Aligarh, was found dead in the police lockup in Indirapuram police station around 5.30 a.m, police said.
Vineesh was picked up by the Ghaziabad police after a robbery-cum-double-murder at the Central Industrial Security Force complex in the city.
Vineesh's brother-in-law Suresh Sharma and his wife Bubbli were found murdered in their CISF Complex house on April 24.
The police picked up Vineesh from Aligarh and recovered a motorcycle, a gold chain and a ring belonging to the couple.
Vineesh was to be presented in court on Sunday but when a security guard peeped inside the lockup in the early hours he found Sharma hanging with a blanket from the window bar of the lockup.
He was taken to the Pushpanjali Hospital where doctors declared him dead.
"His dead body has been sent for post-mortem. The family has been informed," said Superintendent of Police (SP) Shiv Shankar Yadav.
An inquiry has been ordered into the death.
