Family outraged by lack of police ‘duty of care’ as 54-year-old grandad dies outside his own doorstep TRAGEDY: 54-year-old Nazim Din died on his doorstep as police swooped his home to arrest one of his sons
By Ashley Grint ashley@asianexpress.co.uk
A family from Leeds has been left frustrated and angry, after a police raid on their family home resulted in the death of a disabled grandfather. Nazim Din, 54, of Grasmere Court, Wortley, required assistance to walk and was, allegedly, knocked to the ground by officials as they were placing one of his sons in the police van following allegations of criminal damage.
Mr Din’s family claim Nazim was simply trying to tell the authorities that they ‘had the wrong son’, however he was pushed out of the way and subsequently fell to the floor, where he remained, unattended, for more than 20 minutes. An investigation has now been launched by the Independent Police Complaint Commission (IPCC) into allegations that the father of five died as a result of the overexcessive police force.
