A cop in Uttar Pradesh was attacked and beaten by an unruly mob in the state's Mahoba district when he and his team tried to clear a road blockade.
A policeman was attacked and beaten by a mob in Uttar Pradesh's Mahoba district on Monday when he went to clear a road blockade along with his team.
A video of a few men raining slaps, punches and kicks at Ram Avtar, a sub-inspector (SI) rank official of the UP Police, went viral on social media.
The incident happened in the Panwari area of Mahoba, where people were protesting after the death of a 13-year-old boy who was run over by a bus when he was going to his home on a bicycle.
After the incident, his family members, along with locals, laid his body on a road in protest, demanding strict action against the bus driver and compensation.
Upon receiving the information about the road-blockade, SI Ram Avtar reached the location with his team to clear it. But the mob attacked him with sticks.
Three members of the cop's team fled the scene, leaving him alone with the mob.
Later, the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) and Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) of the area reached the spot and calmed the mob. They also admitted Ram Avtar to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.
Speaking about the incident, Superintendent of Police (SP) Mahoba Aparna Gupta said that a case has been registered against the unknown attackers and strict action will be taken against them after their identification.
