Two Uttar Pradesh policemen were suspended on 26 July after a video of them mercilessly thrashing two minor boys, on the banks of the Ganga, went viral.
In the video, the policemen can be seen beating up and humiliating the boys after they were accused of stealing a mobile phone and some money from a man who had come to bathe at the Ganga.
“Yesterday, some money and a mobile were stolen from the pants of a devotee who had come for 'Ganga snan' from UP. The boys were suspected of the theft. The policemen involved in this incident have been suspended,” Bulandshahr SP PK Tiwari told ANI.
The case is under investigation.
