Pradeep Raut was taken to the hospital only on April 17

Relentless alleged custodial assault at the Kanjurmarg police station on a diabetic accused of fraud caused gangrene in his left leg. A delay in treating him by the Thane Central Jail led to the 48-year-old's death on April 24. While the deceased Pradeep Raut's son Jay claims an investigating officer at Kanjurmarg demanded a Rs 5 lakh bribe and subjected his father to third-degree torture in front of complainants, the cop has termed all allegations as 'false'.
