The stain of negligence and corruption on the face of Kanpur police in Uttar Pradesh is not taking its name. Here once again, troubled by the negligence of the police, a young man attempted self-immolation at the police station gate. It is a matter of pride that in time the policemen saw him setting fire to his body and he was saved. At present, this young man has been admitted to Hallet Hospital. Where his condition remains critical.
The young man had come to plead with the police to search for his missing wife for three days. It is alleged that for the third consecutive day on Saturday, the youth pleaded with the police at the police station to find his wife, but the police did not even give him concrete assurance. In such a situation, the young man came out of the police station and sprinkled some inflammable substance on himself and set himself on fire. Seeing flames rising from his body, the policemen rushed to him and extinguished the fire by pouring mud and water etc. on him.
But in this time the young man was badly burnt. In such a situation, the police only took him to Hallet Hospital, where the doctors told him out of danger after treatment. This case pertains to Swaroop Nagar police station of Kanpur. According to the police, the policemen were on their duty in the police station as usual. Meanwhile, there was some noise outside the police station. When the police came out from the police station, they saw that the young man who was pleading to find his wife in the police station a while ago, had set his body on fire.
A constable and scribe etc. of the police station extinguished the fire by pouring soil and water etc., but the young man was badly scorched by that time. Police told that the youth is a resident of Swaroop Nagar and is a driver by profession. He told in police interrogation that his wife went missing three days ago. He did a lot of research on his own.
The police also made a lot of rounds, but no news of the wife was found. In such a situation, he became distraught at the separation from his wife. ADCP Amita Singh told that information about the incident has been received. He has ordered an inquiry into the matter. He told that a bottle of liquor and some intoxicants have also been found from the young man. It is feared that he has executed this incident under the influence of alcohol.
