Court orders FIR against four accused of assaulting CISF constable
The Story in Brief
A court in Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, has directed police to register an FIR against four people accused of assaulting, stripping and filming a CISF constable, who was later arrested in a molestation case. The Civil Judge (Senior Division) court heard a petition from Constable Ajay Yadav, 34, and ordered the case on 7 November. Police registered the FIR on 9 November under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the IT Act, Additional Superintendent of Police Shubham Agrawal said.
Yadav alleged in his 19 August petition that Dhirendra Yadav, 26, Virendra Yadav, 23, Aman Yadav, 20, and Sarita Yadav, 37, intercepted him on his motorcycle on 12 August, damaged the vehicle, abused him, and beat him. He claimed the three male accused then dragged him behind a house, stripped him and filmed the assault. Villagers rescued him, and he reached the Suriyawan police station about 4 pm to file a complaint. Yadav alleged police made him wait, then registered a molestation case against him after Sarita Yadav arrived around 11 pm. He said his medical examination was conducted on 13 August, but police arrested him in the molestation case nearly 24 hours after he reached the station. The petitioner also claimed a relative of one accused works as a Dial 112 driver for the station in-charge. Crime Inspector Buddhi Sagar Yadav is investigating the case.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Hindustan Times and India Today report the same sequence of events, the alleged assault on CISF Constable Ajay Yadav on 12 August, the court order on 7 November, and the FIR registered on 9 November. Their coverage is substantially identical, drawing on the same police official, court name and legal sections. The only difference is in sentence-level detail: India Today includes the accused’s ages and the specific BNS provisions, while Hindustan Times lists the BNS section numbers without describing them. India Today also explicitly notes that the investigation will examine Yadav’s claim that police ignored his complaint before arresting him, a point Hindustan Times reports as part of the ASP’s statement but does not tie to the probe’s scope. Both leave the next step on investigation open, with India Today naming Crime Inspector Buddhi Sagar Yadav as the investigating officer.
