On Monday, ten policeman have been removed from duty after a man in his 20s died by suicide in Uttar Pradesh’s Baghpat district, hours after a brawl with cops at a Covid vaccination centre.
Five of the 10 policemen have also been named in an “abetment to suicide” complaint.
The man’s body was found hanging from a tree near his village last night.
His relatives have alleged he was driven to suicide by the policemen who assaulated him “for no reason” at a vaccination centre in the western UP district, and then later came to his home, where his mother was also beaten.
A 90-second video shot on a mobile phone at the vaccination centre in Baghpat on Monday afternoon has been widely shared on social media.
It shows at least two policemen trying to grab the man . a second person who tries to intervene is pushed away by the cops.
