A Khanna man was arrested on 25 March 2001 in an NDPS case (35 kg poppy husk) at PS Sadar Khanna and remanded to police custody till 28 March 2001 by an order mentioning no injury; on 27 March 2001 he was declared brought dead at Civil Hospital with a swollen eye injury, and the medical board could not fix a cause of death.
