Kanpur Dehat Superintendent of Police (SP) Keshav Kumar Choudhary said, “Along with some 100 people, the government employee had shut down the hospital for no reason, and a call was received by Akbarpur police. Patients were struggling, and in order to restart medical services, police had to resort to mild lathicharge.”

सशक्त कानून व्यवस्था वो है जहां कमजोर से कमजोर व्यक्ति को न्याय मिल सके।

यह नहीं कि न्याय मांगने वालों को न्याय के स्थान पर इस बर्बरता का सामना करना पड़े,यह बहुत कष्टदायक है।भयभीत समाज कानून के राज का उदाहरण नहीं है।

The police said they were trying to identify the officer purportedly seen hitting the man. “An ASP-level officer will probe the incident,” the SP said.

Asked about the child, he added, “He [the police officer] was only seen hitting the man under the waist.”
