CUSTODIAL DEATHCBI chargesheets 5 cops, 3 doctors Nawal Kishore Rastogi
Rewari, February 10
A special team of the CBI headed by SP Singh, SSP, has filed a chargesheet against five police personnel and three medical officers of Rewari in a case of custodial death of Chhaju Ram, who died here on July 14, 2005, in the court of the Special Judicial Magistrate, Haryana, for CBI cases at Ambala. 

The chargesheet has been filed for abduction in order to kill the kidnapped person, wrongful confinement, culpable homicide not amounting to murder, preparation of incorrect record to save person(s) from legal punishment, destruction of evidence of offence and criminal conspiracy. 
The accused comprise the then Inspector Randhir Singh (now retired from service as DSP), then ASI Nihal singh, HC Gurdayal Singh, HC Ajit Singh and EHC Rajesh Kumar as well as Dr PD Mehra, Dr JK Saini and Dr Ashok Saini of the local civil hospital.
In the absence of any tangible evidence of their involvement in the crime, the then SDM Sujan Singh, now Estate Officer, HUDA, Hisar, then DSP Pat Ram, now SP, Vigilance, Hisar, and three other police personnel have been given the clean chit.
Acting on a petition filed by Khillo Devi, wife of deceased Chhaju Ram, a native of Manakpur village in Bhiwani district, who was then living in a rented accommodation in Arjun Nagar here, Mr Justice Mahesh Grover of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, had entrusted investigation into the case to the CBI in September, 2009, while ordering the registration of a criminal case against the accused.
The incident occurred when Vinod Sharma,the kingpin of a gang of hardcore criminals and a resident of Mithathal village of Bhiwani district, was apprehended while his accomplice, Umesh of Jahidpur village in Rewari district, was killed in an encounter on July 13, 2005, in Berli Kalan village, 16 km from Rewari.
After Sharma reportedly told the police during interrogation that Chhaju Ram, who supplied illicit arms to criminals, had close links with the underworld, the latter was picked up on July 14 from his home and brought to the CIA police post here for interrogation.
When his condition worsened during interrogation, he was taken to the local civil hospital, where he died.
A postmortem conducted by three doctors- Dr PD Mehra, Dr. JK Saini and Dr Ashok Saini- reportedly accorded concurrence to the police version that Chhaju Ram seemed to have died of cardiac arrest.
However when Karan Singh, brother of the deceased, sought a second postmortem examination, it was conducted at the PGIMS, Rohtak, where the doctors reported that injuries found on the body could have caused his death.
Consequently, Khillo Devi filed a petition in the high court seeking punishment for the guilty.
