Question marks have been raised on the working style of the Uttar Pradesh Police regarding the excesses against a common citizen in Kanpur countryside. When the video of police brutality on a man carrying a child in his hand went viral, the pressure on the police to act increased. However, the Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) of Kanpur Dehat is still defending the police action in this case. However, after the video went viral on social media, the UP Police issued a statement late last night saying that strict action will be taken against the culprits.
This case is of the district hospital of Akbarpur Nagar in Kanpur countryside. A man holding the child was thrashed by an inspector of the local police station and another policeman tried to snatch the child. Repeated pleas to hurt the child also did not affect the policemen. Now the opposition has targeted the Yogi government of the state on this issue. Sharing the video of the incident, Youth Congress National President Srinivas Biwi targeted the state government, “Yogi ji, how are the screams of this innocent man letting you sleep?”

this is the whole matter
Additional Superintendent of Police, Kanpur Dehat, Ghanshyam Chaurasia said that Rajneesh Shukla, a grade-4 employee in the district hospital, along with 100-150 people, forcibly closed the OPD. He misbehaved with the hospital staff and patients. The police tried to convince them but they did not listen to anyone and also locked the inspector and some policemen in a room. While attacking Rajneesh Shukla cut the finger of the SHO. Chaurasia said that mild force was used to remove the people.

confident of action against the culprits
When the pressure increased after the video of the incident went viral on social media, the UP Police issued a statement of strict action late in the night. According to the police statement, a video of police lathi-charging a man holding a child has surfaced and police personnel are not expected to behave like any common citizen. The district police’s prima facie report has revealed that some protestors had closed the OPD of the district hospital and obstructed the services. When the police went to control the situation on the request of the Chief Medical Superintendent, they were attacked. In such a situation, the police used mild force but here the insensitivity of the policemen cannot be justified. ADG Zone Kanpur has been directed to investigate the matter and take action against the guilty policemen.
Big decision of Modi government, penalty will not affect pension in case of death of government employees, but these conditions apply
Opposition’s attack on Yogi government
The opposition parties have targeted the Yogi government regarding this matter. Congress leader Srinivas Biwi said that Yogi ji, how are the screams of this innocent man letting you sleep? SP’s national secretary and spokesperson Rajiv Rai said that this is a glimpse of the cruelty of the Yogi government and if there is even a little shame and humanity left in the UP DGP, ADG Kanpur and UP Police, then immediately arrest this goon gangster.

BJP MP from Pilibhit Varun Gandhi has also raised questions regarding the issue. Gandhi said that a strong law and order is one where the weakest of the weak can get justice. It is not that those seeking justice have to face this barbarity in place of justice, it is very painful. A fearful society is not an example of the rule of law. Strong law and order is one where there is fear of law, not of police.
