Kanpur Businessman Death: The death of the businessman had turned into a huge political controversy with many accusing the Yogi Adityanath government of inaction.
All six cops accused in the death of Kanpur businessman Manish Gupta have been arrested, the UP Police said, with the final arrest on Saturday. The death of the businessman had turned into a huge political controversy with many accusing the Yogi Adityanath government of inaction.
The 36-year-old died after a late-night raid at a Gorakhpur hotel last month where he was meeting his friends. His family had alleged that six policemen - led by a senior inspector - barged into their hotel room, and assaulted Mr Gupta. The cops also allegedly delayed taking him to the hospital.
The autopsy report showed he suffered multiple injuries, including a swelling in the middle of his head, a cut above the elbow joint and injuries to the upper lip.
Six cops were suspended immediately as the UP government faced searing criticism from the opposition leaders. The arrest of the six accused, which began on October 10, concluded on Saturday.
