Man Dies During Police Inspection In UP, 7 Cops Suspended

The police have said it was a "stampede-like" situation.

Bareilly:

Seven policemen, including the police outpost in-charge, were suspended after they failed to inform department seniors about a "stampede-like situation" during an inspection that led to the death of one person, officials said on Friday.

The policemen were suspended on charges of indiscipline and negligence, a senior police official said. The man's family has alleged that he died after being thrashed by the police.

The police team was carrying out an inspection after being informed about gambling activities in the Sardar Nagar area here.

Santosh Kumar (46) was seriously injured in the incident on Thursday and had been hospitalised in a Bareilly hospital. He succumbed to his injuries on Friday evening, police said.

The family members of Santosh Kumar have filed a complaint in Bhamaura police station alleging that he died after being beaten up by the staff of Sardar Nagar outpost, Bareilly Superintendent of Police (Rural) Mukesh Chandra Mishra said.

Action will be taken on the complaint lodged by the family members after the post-mortem and investigation of the spot, Mr Mishra said.

On Thursday night, after receiving information of gambling activities outside Alampur Jafrabad village, a police team led by outpost in-charge of Sardar Nagar Tinku Kumar and six others reached the spot, he said.

When the police team arrived, the gamblers started running away, leading to a stampede-like situation in which one person was seriously injured and was sent for treatment at Narayana Hospital, the SP said.

He added that the police team, however, did not inform higher officials about the incident.

Taking strong exception to it, Sub-Inspector Tinku Kumar, head constables Pushpendra Rana and Manoj Kumar, constables Ankit Kumar, Deepak Kumar, Satyajit Singh and Mohit Kumar were suspended for negligence, misconduct and not informing senior officials about the incident, police said.

The investigation of the entire incident has been handed over to the Superintendent of Police (Rural) and necessary legal action is being taken in the matter, police added.

North Korea Says It Tested New Strategic Cruise Missile

North Korea test-fired a new generation of strategic cruise missile on Wednesday. (Representational) Seoul: North Korea fired several cruise missiles towards the Yellow Sea on Wednesday, Seoul's military said, the latest in a series of tension-raising moves by the nuclear-armed state. Hours later, North Korea appeared to confirm the firing, saying it had carried out its first test of a new generation of strategic cruise missiles it is developing, the Pulhwasal-3-31. Pyongyang has accelerated weapons testing in the new year, including tests of what it called an "underwater nuclear weapon system" and a solid-fuelled hypersonic ballistic missile. "Our military detected several cruise missiles launched by North Korea towards the Yellow Sea at around 7:00 am today," the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. Unlike their ballistic counterparts, the testing of cruise missiles is not banned under current UN sanctions against Pyongyang. Cruise...

"Jaiswal Has Run Ahead Of Gill": Ex-India Star's Massive T20 WC Verdict

Former India opener Aakash Chopra has suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal is slightly ahead of Shubman Gill in the pecking order as captain Rohit Sharma's partner at the top in T20Is. Since making his debut last year, Jaiswal has been in stunning form in the shortest format of the game. Gill's form, on the other hand, has dipped since the ODI World Cup last year in India. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held later this year, Chopra feels Jaiswal will open the innings with Rohit during the tournament. "It's clear that Yashasvi Jaiswal has run ahead of Shubman Gill. Yashasvi is ahead in the two-horse race, Gill is lagging slightly behind. Gill was played in the first match, dropped in the second, and wasn't played in the third as well," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. Jaiswal helped India beat Afghanistan in the second T20I earlier this week, scoring a quickfire fifty. Considering his recent form across formats, Chopra emphasised that Jaiswal has ...
