A senior IPS officer used to ill-treat him because he belonged to the Scheduled Caste,” said a family member, who wished not to be named. Deputy Commissioner of Police (South-East) Romil Baaniya said they would initiate a probe into Gangoli’s death if his family filed a complaint. “He told me he was ready to quit if he had to continue to work under the officer,” he said.
