Thirteen men being held for suspected involvement in the deadly July 11 Mumbai train bombings alleged on Thursday that police officers beat them in custody and offered them bribes to testify against other suspects. Police denied their claims, made to a special sessions court judge in Mumbai. The 13 men were arrested on charges of exploding seven bombs on commuter trains in Mumbai on July 11, killing more than 200 people. The men named top police investigator KP Raghuvanshi and Mumbai police chief AN Roy and alleged that they told the suspects that they were under pressure to extract confessions. “Raghuvanshi and Roy came to see me and said they were under political pressure to torture us and to implicate me,” said Ethesham Siddiqui, among the accused men who complained to the judge. Another suspect, Sohail Shaikh, alleged that Raghuvanshi and other officers “beat us up”. Naved Hussain said an officer from the Anti-Terrorism Squad “tried to give me money to turn approver” or state witness.
