Wrongful Detention and Tragic Death of Teenager in Bhiwandi

Babu Thakre, a 16-year-old boy from Mithpada, Bhiwandi, tragically lost his life after being wrongfully detained and allegedly tortured by two constables from Nizampura police station. Babu, known for his helpful nature and hard work, was mistaken for another individual with a criminal record also named Babu.

The constables received a tip-off about a man named 'Babu' involved in the theft of two kilograms of gold. Unfortunately, instead of pursuing the criminal Babu, they apprehended the innocent teenager who shared the same name.
