**Hyderabad, India – May 15, 2025** – A 35-year-old man identified as Mohd Irfan, an auto driver from Karnataka, collapsed and died Tuesday night outside the Rajendranagar police station in Hyderabad, sparking a controversy over the circumstances surrounding his death.
According to Rajendranagar Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Ch. Srinivas, Irfan was brought to the station along with his wife, Nishad Begum, and her family, as well as the family of a woman Irfan was allegedly having an affair with. The DCP stated that Irfan and his wife had been experiencing marital issues due to Irfan’s desire to marry the other woman. Police counseled both parties and advised them against maintaining contact.
“After counseling, Mr. Irfan collapsed and fell unconscious while leaving the police station,” DCP Srinivas said. “He was immediately taken to Osmania General Hospital but was declared dead on arrival.”
However, Irfan’s brother, Mohd Sadiq, has accused the police of causing his death through physical abuse. Sadiq told reporters at the hospital that he heard his brother’s cries from inside the station and was prevented from entering. He claims that Irfan began vomiting, complained of chest pain, and collapsed shortly after exiting the station.
Police have registered a case of suspicious death under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). The body has been sent for postmortem examination, and the police are awaiting the report before taking further action. The investigation is ongoing to determine the precise cause of Irfan’s death and the extent of police involvement.
