3 cops suspended after AAP posts video of police brutality

launching a fresh salvo against the Delhi Police to keep the momentum swinging in its favour, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday uploaded a video showing the brutality of the men in uniform and asking the Home Ministry whether it will take action against the inhuman behaviour by the policemen on the civilians. 

The video, which comes days after Aam Aadmi Party’s dharna against the Delhi Police at Rail Bhavan, shows three ‘cops’ beating up a man near Red Fort. Delhi Police top brass swung into action and suspended the three policemen seen in the video, pending an inquiry in connection with beating up the civilian. 

The video was uploaded along with a message on YouTube. “Delhi Police is known to be brutal. Every now and then we hear of stories about Delhi Police’s brutality. Here is another such video. Not only does the video clearly show Delhi Police’s inhuman behaviour but also the urban legend of police extorting money is caught on camera. This video was shot by a vigilante near lal Quila and will the Home Minister, under whom Delhi Police comes, make sure that action is taken against these policemenIJ” questioned the message.

The video comes days after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal staged 33-hour long protest in central Delhi, which gridlocked Delhi demanding suspension of SHOs concerned in three cases — the Danish tourist’s gang-rape and the runs-in AAP Ministers Somnath Bharti and Rekha Birla had with the police.
