All government records are 'public' records and are available for review unless sealed by the court or by security classification.

Start with the police department that was involved and request to review these records. You are almost 100% guaranteed to have to request these records in writing. The problem you may run into is that this incident is now 15 years old and the records, if they still exist, may be stored in a warehouse somewhere. The good news is, since it involves a death of someone who (you allege) was in police custody, it's possible that the record may still exist.

You might also check with your local newspaper to see if there are any news articles or stories reporting the incident.

Difference between judicial custody and police custody?

When a person is given in police custody, he remains in custody of police, i.e. in police lock-up. Police custody can not be given beyond 15 days except where there is special provision to grant PC for more than 15 days. Police has unfettered powers to interrogate the accused in police custody in a lawful manner. Whereas in judicial custody, the accused technically remains in the custody of the magistrate. He can be kept in jail or other place of safety. Police can not interrogate the accused without permission of the magistrate if the accused is in judicial custody.
