Mumbai:
Police Sunday ordered an investigation into the death of a young
man who died of brain haemorrhage here early Sunday after being
detained for suspected links with the July 13 bomb attacks.
The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) will ascertain the
circumstances leading to the death of Faiz Usmani in Sion
Hospital, just a few hours after he was questioned.
Usmani's distraught family, alleging foul play by police, staged a
noisy protest outside the hospital in the afternoon.
Usmani was picked up for questioning to ascertain his alleged role
in the blasts which killed 19 people and left more than 100
injured.
On Saturday evening, according to official version, he suddenly
took ill, started vomiting and was rushed to the hospital.
He breathed his last a few hours later, at 1.20 a.m. Sunday, a
medical officer told IANS.
The officer explained that when Usmani was brought to the
hospital, he had high blood pressure and there was excess amount
of blood in his brain.
"We did all tests on the patient and it was a case of a massive
haemorrhage," the officer said.
His post-mortem was conducted in the morning while a second
autopsy is likely.
The dead man was the brother of Afzal Usmani, one of the prime
accused in the Ahmedabad and Surat terror bombings. Both were
linked to Indian Mujahiddeen.
