Policeman beaten to death by villagers in Jharkhand
Ranchi:
One policeman was beaten to death and three others received serious injuries when villagers attacked a police team in Jharkhand.
The incident occurred at Irba village on Saturday, when a police team, not dressed
in uniform, from Bihar came to the village to arrest a local who was a suspect
in an auto-lifting case. As police returned after nabbing the accused, a bunch
of villagers mobbed and beat them severely. "We went there to arrest a local named
Naushad in connection with an auto-lifting case. We received information that
Naushad is involved in a case and we arrested him. When we were returning, the
villagers surrounded us and attacked," said Surendra Rai, a sub-inspector with
the Bihar Police. The injured police personnel were admitted to the Rajendra Medical
College Hospital for treatment. Police began an investigation into the incident
and launched a manhunt to nab the culprits.
