Sudden and unnatural death of a person in custody is a very sensitive issue for the government as there are always allegations of custodial torture, human rights violations, and deliberate ill-treatment by the authorities to the deceased person. Death of a person following alcoholic intoxication in a police/ judicial custody is rare because liquor is not available in custody for arrested person to consume. We are presenting a case where the male person died due to consumption of ethyl alcohol in custody.
