Two cattle traders from Pahasu in Bulandshahr district have accused some khaki uniformed men of stopping them in the name of checking, abusing them and tying them to a tree at the Bhenkuri-Barsauli intersection on the Jalesar-Sikandrarau road in the Hasayan Kotwali area of Hathras. Traders allege that these khaki uniformed men also snatched cash worth Rs 1.48 lakh from them. The victimized traders reached the police station and complained about it. Both the traders were returning with animals from the cattle pen of Pachokhara in Firozabad district.
However, Police Station Head Dheeraj Kumar Gautam said that the incident had happened three days ago. When some cattle were seen loaded in a vehicle, some police personnel stopped the vehicle and checked it. During this time, the police personnel also made a video clip of this vehicle, which is present with the police personnel as evidence. Instead of immediately complaining about the checking done three days ago, these people are now alleging looting. The information given by animal traders is completely false and incorrect. The incident seems suspicious, still they are investigating. Deputy Superintendent of Police Anand Kumar said that he has no information about any such incident.
Rizwan and Akhtar, two cattle traders from Pahasu Nagar in Aligarh district, along with some traders from their locality, reached Kotwali on the evening of January 6 and met the police station head and complained that while bringing the animals from Pachokhara’s penth in Firozabad district, they were passing through Jalesar road. Were passing by. Then, around 12 o’clock in the night, some khaki uniformed personnel posted at Bhenkuri-Barsauli intersection of Jaraira police post area on Jalesar-Sikandrarau road, stopped the vehicle in the name of checking and beat them up by abusing them.
These khaki uniformed men were traveling in a private eco car. These men in uniform stuffed his mouth with a cloth, tied him to a tree, beat him and released him after snatching Rs 1.48 lakh. These people started following his vehicle and threatened to shoot him if he gave information to anyone. The victimized cattle traders have said that if they do not get justice, they will complain to higher authorities.
