Unwilling to 'dirty' car, cops let two teens die
Two 15-year-old boys who met with an accident died on the roadside where they lay on Thursday midnight as police from UP Dial 100 refused to take them to hospital. The cops were worried that the blood of the seriously wounded kids would soil their vehicle, a Toyota Innova.
In a video that shows chilling indifference on the part of the men who were duty-bound to help the teens, one of the cops can be seen asking, "Where will we sit the whole night if our vehicle gets dirty?" Acting swiftly, the police department suspended three cops -- head constable Inderpal Singh and constables Pankaj Kumar and Manoj Kumar -- on Friday.
DIG (Saharanpur range) Sunil Emannuel told TOI: "We have taken exemplary action against the three cops. We cannot tolerate the kind of inhuman treatment that was meted out to those in dire need of help. They (the three cops) are already under suspension. If, after the inquiry that has been set up, their irresponsible and immoral conduct is conclusively established, further action will be taken against them. "
