The circumstances surrounding the 18-year-old's death are not clear.

Nand was found dead at the Nakasi police station while being held in custody last Thursday.

The NGO Coalition for Human Rights has called for an independent investigation into the death.

The police spokesperson Ana Naisoro told FBC News they would only comment once investigations are fully complete.
