Teen’s death in Bihar: 4 held, 84 booked days after mob attacks cops, sets fire to police station

A video soon emerged, showing the policemen being assaulted. It purportedly shows DSP Singh, who had unsuccessfully tried to mediate, falling down and at least two people punching and assaulting him. The video shows the DSP’s bodyguards running for cover.

Kaimur’s Superintendent of Police Mohammed Faruguddin said the police have studied the video and are trying to identify the suspects. “We have arrested four people. The DSP is recovering at a hospital in Varanasi,” Faruguddin said.
On Friday, a day after the girl’s death, hundreds of people of Badaura village converged outside Ramgarh police station, demanding arrest of a fellow villager, who, they alleged, had an affair with the girl. They alleged that this man had raped the teen and left her to die near the tracks.

As the police insisted on waiting for postmortem report, the crowd got impatient and torched a part of the police station.
