Two cops suspended for ‘assaulting local bizman’

Bageshwar: The Bageshwar police has suspended one of its sub-inspectors and a constable with immediate effect.

These policemen had allegedly assaulted a local businessman of Kapkot and his family members in his house, without any search warrant.

Rajendra Prasad, a resident of Kapkot, had accused sub-inspector Akram Ahmed and constable Pawan Kumar that on Monday night they entered his house and beat him and his family members over a "dispute at the businessman's shop". Bageshwar SP Rachita Juyal said that in the initial probe conducted by the police, the allegations against the policemen have been found to be correct and hence they have been suspended.
