He was produced in the court on Monday and presently he is on five-days police remand. Police have beaten him in custody as injuries marks were seen on his body when he was admitted to Hamidia Hospital. However, police denied stating that Yogesh was showing aggressive behavior while he was being taken to hospital for medical and during manhandling; he sustained minor injuries so he has been admitted in Hamidia Hospital.
He also pretended to fell unconscious. Dr A K Shrivastava of Hamidia Hospital said, “Yogesh has been admitted to Hamidia Hospital on Tuesday. He had sustained injuries marks on body. He has been administered medicines and he is undergoing medical treatment and under observation.” He had sneaked into the state hangar on Sunday evening, vandalised a parked helicopter and blocked a SpiceJet flight that was moving for takeoff.
The accused entered the airport through state hangar gate, posing as an under training CISF commando. The on-duty security guard of special armed forces mistook him for a cop and allowed entry. A day after the security goof-up incident, five SAF personnel who were deployed at state hangar have been suspended for negligence. Besides, Gandhi Nagar SHO SI Tarun Bhati has been removed and attached to DIG office. CSP (Nishatpura) Lokesh Sinha said, “Yogesh behaves like an unstable person and showed aggressive behavior in police custody. Policemen overpowered him and admitted in Hamidia Hospital for psychiatric treatment. He is mentally upset so he frequently start misbehaving with police men even in custody. But as police men are now familiar with his behavior, they simply overpower him.
Today, he has been hospitalized in Hamidia Hospital.” Police officer said that the accused behaved like an unstable man in police custody and shouted, ‘Jai Hind’, Jai Shri Ram, Jai Mata Di with a salute to each and every police officer, who came to interrogate him. When the cops asked him questions, he gave bizarre answers.
