People’s Union for Democratic Rights

A civil liberties and democratic rights organisation based in Delhi, India

The report is based on PUDR’s investigation into the death of twenty-year-old Raziuddin in Tihar Jail. Raziuddin, a B.Sc. from Jamia Milia Islamia and also a Diploma in Computer Science and Architecture was falsely implicated by the Crime Branch of Delhi under the charges of extortion on the complaint of a businessman to keep him away from his daughter. His bail was rejected by the court four times. While still in jail he hangs himself from a door. Seven days after his death, the Session Court opined that the case against him may have been motivated.
