Assaulted by minister's son, alleges woman

LUCKNOW: Police in Sitapur have ordered a probe into an incident in which the sons of a state minister and a gunner were allegedly caught on camera thrashing two women on Saturday.

A video of the incident went viral on social media, showing a gunner in police uniform and two others beating two women and tearing their clothes. The women have alleged that the two sons of a state minister and the gunner thrashed them on Friday night.

In their complaint to the police, the women have alleged that they are being forced to vacate a piece of ancestral land at the behest of the minister. Minister of state for urban development Rakesh Rathore has dismissed the allegations, saying that it is a deliberate attempt to tarnish his image.

He said that the driver and the woman are siblings and have a land dispute that is in court. Sitapur circle officer Sushil Singh said that all the allegations are being probed and an FIR will be registered accordingly.
