A Nigerian, Christian Promise, has died in police custody in Rajouri Garden, West Delhi, India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 32-year-old, who arrived in India on a student visa, was arrested on Sunday by a team of five police officers while riding on the wrong side of the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A police officer told local media that Promise rammed his scooter into a police motorcycle, fell to the ground, and sustained injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He reportedly tried to flee on foot, fell again, and was apprehended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhile being taken to the Special Staff office, he complained of uneasiness. He was later taken to Guru Gobind Singh Hospital, where doctors declared him dead,\u201d the officer said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The magistrate court in New Delhi has ordered an investigation into his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police said a post-mortem will be conducted only after consent is obtained from Promise\u2019s relatives or the Nigerian embassy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
