Police in Uttar Pradesh’s Chandauli district have been accused of allegedly beating to death the daughter of a person accused under the Gangster Act after barging into their house during a raid on Sunday.
While the family of the deceased woman, who was in her early twenties, accused the police team of murder, a case was registered against the personnel for culpable homicide not amounting to murder. The local Station House Officer was suspended, even as a probe was launched into the death.
The cause of death remained unknown after the autopsy and the viscera was sent for forensic examination, Chandauli Superintendent of Police Ankur Aggarwal said on Monday. Action would be taken against the police personnel if any negligence was found in the standard operating procedures (SOPs) to be followed by them, he said.
