Anti-Romeo squad in UP shaves man's head in presence of cops

April 01, 2017 11:09

An anti-Romeo squad shaved the head of a man in the presence of policemen who had caught him with a female friend in a public park in Shahjahanpur.

Following the incident, senior police officials suspended the three constables who were present at the site.

"Three constables namely, Suhail Ahmed, Laiek Ahmed and Sonu Pal have been accused of involvement in the incident. Prima facie it appears that they were present there and failed to stop those who were shaving the head of the victim. I have ordered their suspension on this ground, Shahjahanpur SSP, K B Singh said.

In the video, the constables are seen standing near the squatted victim as a man shaves his head.

Reportedly, the constables found the victim who was with his female friend outside a public park. They asked the woman to leave and called a barber and asked him to shave the mans head.

The incident comes after the Uttar Pradesh government directed the police to ensure that no inhumane measure was adopted by the squads, including shaving of heads, blackening of faces or murga pose (sit-ups while holding ears).
