Yadav went on to add that Uttar Pradesh ranks first when it comes to number of deaths in police custody. He also alleged that UP tops in human rights abuses and leads in oppression of Dalits.
The video had surfaced on social media on Saturday. It was alleged that it showed policemen at Saharanpur Kotwali thrashing protesters accused of rioting and stone-pelting in the district.
