The role of the police in the painful lynching of Alimuddin Ansari in Ramgarh, Jharkhand is under cloud of suspicion. It is being said that the police sticks were used to beat the victim. On the second day of the day light murder, a video became viral in which a young man was seen thrashing Aimuddin using police cane.
It is also being said that some policemen were also present when Alimuddin was beaten up. They did not save Alimuddin and the boys beat them mercilessly by taking a stick from them. The big question is: If the policemen were not present then how the police cane came at the spot. The incident happened in the crowded area.
Victim family alleged that police officers are engaged in protecting the policeman.
However DGP has denied role of police in the killing and asked people provide evidence against the policeman.
Meanwhile, the district administration handed over a check of two lakh to Maryam Khatoon, wife of Alimuddin Ansari. SDO visited the deceased’s house today and met the family and handed over a check of compensation of two lakhs and assured justice to them.
