BJP SC Morcha leader accuses UP police officials of assault, 4 suspended

Four police personnel have been suspended following allegations of assaulting Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Scheduled Caste Morcha leader Manoj Pasi at Jhunsi police station in Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj.

Pasi who is the state co-treasurer of the party’s SC Morcha alleged that he was brutally beaten by the officers when he went



to the station to resolve an issue over construction work that his brother was carrying out.

According to Pasi, the confrontation occurred over the construction of a boundary wall on a plot of land his brother had purchased four years ago. However, the construction work was stopped by police officers after a neighbour complained.
