The Bombay high court today handed over the probe of a custodial death in suburban Ghatkopar to the CBI.
Altaf Shaikh (22) was arrested by police last month in connection with a house-breaking case and taken to Ghatkopar police station. He was found dead in the lock-up next morning.
According to police, he died due to drug overdose but the postmortem report revealed several injuries on his body.
The court today also suspended three police officers and directed that offence of murder be registered against them.
