Dehradun: Indian policemen killed a Muslim youth in Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled Uttarakhand state of India.
According to Kashmir Media Service, a 24-year-old Wasim was beaten up by policemen and thrown into a pond over suspicion of carrying cow meat in the Roorkee area of Haridwar district of the state.
In his complaint filed at the Kotwali police station in Gangnahar, Alauddin, brother of Wasim, said that the victim was beaten up by some policemen at Madhopur village while he was coming back from his sister’s home. In the complaint, he mentioned three names Sharad Singh, Sunil Saini and Praveen Saini. Besides them, Alauddin has also mentioned three unnamed policemen.
“Without any reason, they started beating him up after stopping him on the way near a graveyard in Madhopur village. After beating him up, they threw him into a pond. They did not even allow others to take him out of the pond after several attempts,” said Alauddin in his complaint.
As per the complaint, the police officials threatened to shoot them and asked them to go away when they tried to rescue Wasim.
Alauddin, talking to media men, said: “I don’t know how Wasim was beaten up. He had several cut marks on his face. One of his eyes was also torn. The nose was damaged and there were bruise marks on the head too.”
