Police thrashed a 17-year-old boy for selling vegetables in Uttar Pradesh’s Unnao, however, soon he died when he was taken to hospital. The incident took place when the boy was reportedly selling vegetables outside his house in Bangarmau town in Unnao, which is about 65 kms from state capital Lucknow. He was allegedly picked up by the cops, taken to the local police station and assaulted badly following which his condition deteriorated and he was rushed to the Community Health Centre, where he was declared dead, the boy’s family alleged.

“Two constables and a home guard have been suspended with immediate effect in the matter and the entire matter will be probed,” the police said in a statement.
I thoroughly enjoyed this piece. The author’s arguments were well-reasoned and presented clearly. It would be great to discuss this further. What are your views?
