The Crime Branch of Delhi Police arrested two constables Surender and Rajkumar on Thursday who allegedly set an auto driver’s father on fire. The accused police officers had set Uday Chand on fire on November 9 in South Delhi’s Neb Sarai when he tried to intervene between the policemen and his son over an extortion demand. The family members of Uday Chand, who passed away at a city hospital on Wednesday, staged a protest on Thursday with the support of auto-rickshaw drivers.
Around 200 people including family members, representatives from the Resident’s welfare association and auto drivers staged a protest outside the police headquarters. Uday’s son Naveen and close family relatives desired to meet the Commissioner of Police.
Naveen told The Pioneer that instead of the Commissioner he had a met Joint Commissioner of Police Vivek Gogia.
