A 39-year-old migrant worker from Lakhimpur Kheri in Uttar Pradesh named Raju Jatav was found dead in a police station in Ahmedabad on September 15, 2023. Jatav had approached the Shaherkotda police station's electric room after contacting the police control room early in the morning. He claimed he had lost his job and was unable to return home due to financial difficulties.
Jatav was taken to the police station and given time to speak with a relative, who informed him that money would be transferred in the morning. With the stormy weather preventing him from leaving the station, he decided to wait until the money arrived and then travel to Uttar Pradesh.
The police officer on duty discovered Jatav hanging from a fan in the electric room at around 8:30 a.m., after his shift ended. Police registered the incident as an accidental death under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. An inquest panchnama was conducted with the Sub-Divisional Magistrate present, and a forensic post-mortem examination was performed by a team of doctors.
The probe into the circumstances surrounding Jatav's death continues, as his brother is expected to arrive from Delhi to provide more information about his situation.
