Rabindra Mallik, 28, from Mahipur village under Anaka panchayat, consumed poison after reportedly being subjected to third-degree torture while in police custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He had been detained for questioning in connection with a family dispute. According to his statement, he was beaten mercilessly and stripped naked by the officers, prompting his drastic action. Following the incident, Jajpur SP Yashpratap Shrimal ordered an inquiry into Mallik\u2019s allegations. Following a probe, three police personnel were suspended, he said. According to the SP, the suspended police personnel are sub-inspector Chinmaya Prusty, assistant sub-inspector Durgesh Nandini Dey, and constable Debendra Benara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rabindra was admitted to SCB Medical College and Hospital in critical condition and was released on bail after his recovery. His family accused the police of failing to inform them about his detention or hospitalisation, and learning of his condition only three days later. The incident stems from a violent altercation on August 3, when Rabindra\u2019s cousin allegedly attacked his disabled father and a neighbour with a sword. Rabindra intervened by throwing hot rice gruel at the attacker, which led to his detention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Akshya Rout Jajpur\/odisha,Aug 7 : Three police
