6 cops suspended, 4 held for beating rape victim's father
As many as six cops were suspended and four were arrested for allegedly beating up a rape victim's father on Monday.
"Two police officers and four constables have been suspended, while four accused of beating the rape victim's father have been arrested," said Superintendent of Police (SP), Pushpanjali Devi on the incident.
A woman and her family members tried to commit suicide in front of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's residence on Sunday. The woman alleged that she was raped by a MLA and his mates from the district yet no action was taken.
She also stated that she and her family were threatened after they had filed an FIR.
The victim's family further alleged that the MLA's brother had thrashed the woman's father on April 3 for refusing to withdraw the FIR, but the police booked the father instead and locked him up.
Furthermore, the victim's father was arrested on Sunday outside the chief minister's residence but had to be admitted to the hospital last night after he complained of abdominal pain and vomiting.
Later, he passed away in the early hours on Monday.
