Six police personnel, including two sub-inspectors, have been suspended in Firozabad after a pregnant woman died following an alleged kick by a policeman during her husband's arrest. The family says Sub-Inspector Dharmpal Singh kicked 28-year-old Anjali in the abdomen when she pleaded with the team not to take her husband Gaurav away on a theft charge late Sunday night.
Anjali gave birth to a boy on Monday morning in a Shikohabad hospital, but her condition worsened. She died at a private hospital in Firozabad. The newborn is in critical condition and has been referred to Agra. Additional Superintendent of Police Ravi Shankar Prasad said Superintendent Aditya Langhe suspended the six personnel for negligence with immediate effect on Monday.
Samajwadi Party national general secretary Ramjilal Suman staged a sit-in at the Shikohabad police station on Tuesday, demanding a murder case be registered against the policemen. Suman said police have sought three days' time to respond. An SP delegation also visited the family in Labhaua village.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources report the same facts: six police suspended, a Samajwadi Party demand for murder charges, and the family's allegation of a kick. The Hindu adds the newborn's critical condition early and includes the post-mortem timing, giving a slightly fuller official timeline. Times Now leads with the emotional framing of the kick and the newborn's condition but omits the post-mortem detail. Neither source adds independent verification. The core dispute is the police version of negligence versus the family and SP allegation of murder. The three-day deadline the police sought for a response on the murder case will be the immediate test of how the state handles this.
