Death of Bihar youth: Two persons taken into custody

The two were detained by Crime Branch police officials investigating the case relating to the death of Satnam Singh Mann (25), who died at the Centre on August 4.

Meanwhile, Crime Branch registered a murder case in connection with the death of Mann.

The case was handed over to Crime Branch after allegation that Mann died due to torture that happened either in police custody or at the Centre.

Four employees of the Centre and jail warden were suspended yesterday in connection with the case.

Mann was arrested and remanded on August 1 after he created scenes at the ashram by trying to barge onto the podium of spiritual leader Mata Amritanandamayi.

 

He was shifted to the mental hospital here on Thursday as he was allegedly in a mentally disturbed state.
