Bijnor: Woman dies after raid on beef suspicion, 4 cops shunted out

“An inquiry has been ordered. Necessary legal action will be taken against the informer for providing biased information, and also against the police officers if our probe finds them guilty,” said Jha.

The family of the woman has alleged that policemen misbehaved with her during the raid at their home at Khatai village.

“The four police constables barged into our house and misbehaved with the women members of the family. They ransacked the household while we kept pleading. My mother had a panic attack due to the behaviour of the cops. We took her to a local clinic, where the doctor pronounced her dead,” said her son Nasim.

Jai Bhagwan Singh, Station House Officer (SHO) of Kiratpur police station, said the woman’s death had nothing to do with the police raid. “Razia was an asthma patient and had been undergoing treatment for the past few years,” Singh said.

Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party MLA from Nagina, Manoj Kumar Paras, led a delegation of local leaders and Muslim clerics to the district police chief’s office, demanding more punitive action against the constables who raided the house. “As the representative of my constituency, it is my responsibility to ensure that the police or anti-social elements don’t harass people,” said Paras.
