UP-shocker: Cops force Muslim-man to pick meat using mouth
In a horrible incident, an injured Muslim man was forced by Shahjahanpur (Uttar Pradesh) Police to pick meat from his mouth, a few days ago. The ghastly episode took place last week, but a video has surfaced now. Taking cognizance of it, Shahjahanpur SP (City) Dinesh Tripathi has suspended one inspector and constable for their actions. However, earlier UP Police defended themselves.
At Bilandpur village, cow vigilantes beat victim, then approached police
The victim identified as 36-year-old Bhure was carrying a jute bag. At Bilandpur village, Shahjahanpur, he was stopped by cow vigilantes, on suspicion of carrying beef. They beat the man brutally and when he fell unconscious, they took him to Nigohi Police station along with his bag. The bag contained meat wrapped in plastic sheets, which the family said Bhure was supplying to clients.
As police show inhumanity, villagers record incident
Reportedly, the cops forced the injured man to pick up meat from his mouth and put it back, while villagers watched. Some of the villagers recorded the incident and even praised the inhumane act of the police. A seriously injured, Bhure was later admitted to CHC Hospital. Circle Officer Baldev Singh Kaneda defended the police and said they saved Bhure from angry mob instead.
Earlier, Muslim man was dragged in police presence
SP Tripathi suspended the officers after the video went viral on social media. He said action would be taken after inquiry. Earlier, Uttar Pradesh police were slammed after people dragged a Muslim man injured by cow vigilantes in their presence, in Hapur. Three policemen, who were shown in the photograph, were suspended. After this latest incident, the question remains: Who will police the police?
