"When he reached near the Subhash Place police station, he was passing through four police barricades. "His neck got stuck in the wire that was tied between two of the barricades. He died on the spot," Deputy Commissioner of Police Aslam Khan said. "Initial investigation pointed to negligence of the area Station House Officer, four Constables, a Head Constable and a Sub-Inspector and an Assistant Sub-Inspector from the division staff. We have sent SHO Arvind Kumar to the district police lines. "Head Constable Jitender, and Constables Balkari, Ravinder, Mukesh and Gaurav, and division officers -- SI Sandeep Dabbas and ASI Ravinder -- have been suspended for negligence in duty.
