CCTV footage from the 35th Battalion PAC ground has emerged, purportedly showing 25-year-old home guard recruitment aspirant, Yogendra Singh, struggling to continue running shortly before he collapsed during the physical test on September 15, even as police investigate the circumstances surrounding his death.
Family files murder FIR after post-mortem
Police, however, are examining the post-mortem findings alongside other aspects of the incident and have not publicly attributed the injuries or the bottle to any particular person. The development comes a day after the family lodged an FIR against unknown persons for murder following an autopsy that cited asphyxia and found a 250 ml plastic water bottle lodged in Yogendra’s throat. The post-mortem report also recorded 12 injury marks on his body, prompting his family to allege foul play.
DCP (central) Vikrant Veer Singh said a five-member team had been constituted to investigate the case. “Apart from the post-mortem report, all other aspects related to the incident are being investigated,” he said.
