A 63-year-old man died after collapsing at a police station in Kalyan, a town in Maharashtra's Thane district, where his son was brought by the police for questioning following a combing operation, an official said.
The incident took place late Friday night at the Kolsewadi police station, he said.
Man collapsed due to seizure: Police
The police said that the man collapsed following a seizure attack and the incident was captured on the CCTV cameras installed at the police station.
The local court has still mandated that a post-mortem be performed on the dead and an inquest panchnama be conducted.
An inquest panchnama is conducted after a person dies as a result of crime or under suspicious circumstances.
"During an 'all-out operation' conducted last night, the police picked up a 24-year-old man, who is a local resident, and took him to Kolsewadi police station for inquiry. His father Deepak Bhingardive, 63, followed him to the police station to know why his son was brought there," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone III- Kalyan) Sachin Gunjal said in a release.
While responding to the incident, the man's 23-year-old son Pratiksh stated that the death took place under mysterious circumstances.
Eldery man video-graphed son's interrogation
While the police were interrogating the man, his father video-graphed it on his mobile phone. As he was arguing with the police, he was made to sit behind the station house officer's block at the police station, he said.
"However, there he suffered a seizure attack and collapsed. He was rushed to the hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead," he added.
The entire sequence of events was recorded on CCTV cameras installed at the police station, he said.
"The police station personnel themselves informed the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). Their officials arrived at the police station," Gunjal said, adding that the CCTV footage will be handed over to the probe agency.
Later on, the Chief Judicial Magistrate ordered the Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) to arrange an inquest panchnama and post-mortem reports of the deceased, he said.
The process of inquest panchnama and post-mortem will be video-graphed, the official said.
A case of accidental death has been registered at Kolsewadi police station, he said.
