The bereaved family had claimed that the man’s death could have been prevented if he had received a medical examination and treatment sooner, as he complained of pain in his chest nine days before he was sent to the hospital.

In November last year, the seven guards were reprimanded for their wrongdoings, including verbal abuse.
