Policeman assaulted by SSF personnel after road incident in northern India
by Aditi VermaA shocking incident unfolded in northern India’s Uttar Pradesh where Sub-Inspector Ashish Yadav was allegedly assaulted by SSF personnel after reporting a collision involving his vehicle. Despite video footage from Dhoomanganj police station, justice remains elusive 24 hours after the attack.
The incident took place at Dhoomanganj Police Station in Prayagraj and the video went viral on October 29.
Visuals showed outside the police station, a group of officers surrounded and appeared to be physically restraining an SSF personnel, creating a tense and chaotic atmosphere. The scene was filled with intense shouting and a palpable sense of unrest. Nearby, people gathered, watching the escalating commotion with worried expressions. The surroundings buzzed with tension as more officers arrived, adding to the already charged atmosphere. The police station’s entrance was crowded, and the air was thick with anticipation, as bystanders looked on, uncertain of what might happen next.
In a disturbing event in Prayagraj, Sub-Inspector Ashish Yadav reportedly faced assault by Special Security Force (SSF) personnel within the Dhoomanganj police station premises. The altercation began when an SSF member’s bike allegedly collided with Yadav’s car. Upon filing a complaint, the situation escalated, with multiple SSF members entering the police station to allegedly assault Yadav.
The entire confrontation was reportedly captured by a CCTV camera, often referred to as the “third eye” of the station, providing clear footage of the incident. However, despite the availability of this evidence, Yadav has yet to receive justice over 24 hours after the incident took place. The delay in response has raised questions regarding security protocols and inter-departmental conduct within law enforcement circles.
