A gruesome incident has come to the fore where a mother hailing from UP’s Bareilly alleged that three cops nailed the hands and feet of her son who was seen without a mask.
In a letter to the police superintendent, the helpless mother recounted the incident saying that her son was sitting outside on a road in the Baradari area of Bareilly on May 24 when some cops came and started asking everyone about masks. The talking soon turned into a scuffle and the son was taken away by the cops, added the mother.
After hours of searching, the man was found grievously injured and his hands and feet were nailed, reported India Today.
The woman has also alleged that when she went to the police post to inquire about her missing son and complained about this mistreatment, the cops threatened to arrest her son. On Wednesday, she urged senior police officials to look into the matter and appealed for justice.
