Lucknow: In a brutal attack on dissent, the Uttar Pradesh allegedly manhandled two female students for waving black flags during BJP President Amit Shah’s rally in Allahabad. The video of the police assaulting girl students went viral on social media and the act has also invited severe criticism from the opposition.
The girl students raised ‘Amit Shah go away’ slogans and even tried to obstruct a police vehicle. The video shows male police officers thrashing them. The absence of women police officers to handle the situation has come under criticism from all quarters.
The video shows a police inspector dragging a woman by her waist, while thrashing another with a stick. In this melee a male student was beaten up by the police in this process. Later, the three students who were protesting were taken away by police. Within minutes after these incidents, Amit Shah’s convoy passed through the same place.
The entire video has gone viral with many questioning the high-handed behaviour of the UP police.
