Rajgarh superintendent of police Dharmraj Meena said the man was accused of abducting and raping a minor girl from Khilchipur on November 20. \u201cThe girl\u2019s family registered a complaint of the abduction of a minor girl at Khilchipur police station.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meena said the girl was recovered and the accused was arrested on December 28. \u201cThey took them to the police station where the accused started vomiting. He was taken to a nearby hospital and later, he was referred to Bhopal. He died on January 1 while undergoing treatment. The family members were with the police team and are aware of the details but later started making these accusations,\u201d said the SP.<\/p>\n

Police also said the accused told a magistrate that he consumed poison after being spotted by the police.<\/p>\n

His uncle rubbished the police claim. \u201cMy nephew was going with the girl and the police arrested him. Why will he carry poison with him? \u2026. It is a custodial death and police personnel poisoned him. A strict probe should be taken place in the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
