The police officer, who brutally lathi-charged a begging father to spare a small child in his lap, has now been suspended. Yesterday he was brought on line in this case. ASP is investigating this matter. Based on the complaint and the viral video, the inspector has been suspended. Yesterday, the police officials had said that action is being taken against the inspector to maintain the impartiality of the investigation.
The video of this incident from Kanpur Dehat went viral on social media yesterday. As soon as the video went viral, people started questioning the working style of the police. Many people called it the barbaric face of UP Police. In the video, a man is seen holding a small girl in his lap, on which a policeman is fiercely lathi-batting. During this, that person is constantly saying – ‘Sir! Don’t kill the girl, she will get hurt…’ But in the dress of the uniform, the policeman could not hear his plea.
The inspector kept on raining sticks on the father with the child in his lap. Not only this, another policeman snatched the girl from her father’s lap and started putting her in the jeep. On Thursday, this brutal face of the police, who arrived at the district hospital to open the OPD’s lockout, came to the fore.
There was a stir as soon as the video of police brutality went viral. The SP has asked the CO to conduct an inquiry after the matter comes to the notice. In the district hospital, under the leadership of employee leader Rajneesh Shukla, the employees on Thursday suddenly stopped the OPD work and sat on a dharna.
Akbarpur Kotwal Vinod Mishra reached the spot with the police force on the information of CMS Dr. Vandana Singh. While removing the employees from the gate, Rajneesh Shukla got entangled with the Kotwal and a scuffle started. On this the policemen started beating the employees. Meanwhile, an employee was holding his child in his lap.
The SHO also started lashing out at him. The employee kept shouting when a constable came and snatched the girl from her lap and started putting her in the police jeep. Leave it..leave it..sir! The helpless father somehow escaped from the spot by taking the girl from the soldier.
The employees of the district hospital were angry over the sale and mining of the soil being excavated for the unit being built in the medical college premises. They said that children are getting sick due to dust from the excavation and the way to the house is being blocked by the pile of mud. On Thursday, the employees locked down the OPD after submitting a memorandum to the CMS. After this, they started protesting at the hospital gate itself. Due to this, the patients who came to the hospital returned to Barang after wandering.
CMS Dr. Vandana Singh said, ‘The employees gave the memorandum at 12.05 pm, after which the OPD was locked. DM and CMO have been apprised. Action will be taken against those who create ruckus.
Kanpur Dehat SP Keshav Chaudhary said, ‘The video of police beating and snatching the girl has gone viral. The investigation of this matter has been handed over to the CO. Action will be taken against the guilty policemen after the inquiry report is received.
