The incident at Mehtab Shah Kutchi Basti had caused nationwide outrage with activists severely criticising the Rajasthan government after it cited the preliminary post-mortem report to claim that Hussain died due to cardio-respiratory failure.
Jaipur: MORE THAN a year after a 53-year-old man died in Rajasthan’s Pratapgarh following a scuffle with local civic officials engaged in the Swachh Bharat campaign — he objected to them taking photographs of women defecating in the open — police have concluded that the death was caused by a heart attack.
In their final report submitted to a local court, Pratapgarh police stated that they have not framed any charge against the four civic officials involved in the scuffle against whom an FIR under IPC Section 302 (murder) had been registered hours after the death of Zafar Hussain on June 16, 2017.
“A final report has been submitted to the court in the case and it has been concluded in the investigation that Hussain died of heart attack,” Babulal Murariya, station house officer, Pratapgarh, and investigating officer in the case told The Indian Express.
