7 kanwarias booked for assaulting CRPF jawan returning to duty in Manipur
The incident came to light after a video emerged on social media purportedly showing the accused assaulting the jawan, who police only identified by his first name, Gautam.
According to the police, Gautam had come home on leave and was at the station to board the Brahmaputra Express for Manipur, where he is currently posted. He was with his minor son, based on whose complaint the FIR against the accused was filed.
The brief video shows a push-and-pull between the men and Gautam, who eventually falls to the ground as the men rain kicks and punches on him. A minor boy helps him up, and he walks up to the men to confront them, but is assaulted again.
Police said they are yet to ascertain what led to the incident. According to officials, police personnel reached the spot on receiving the information and brought the situation under control with the help of a few passengers.
Gautam's son filed a complaint with the Government Railway Police (GRP) and the Railway Protection Force (RPF), based on which three adults and four minors were booked under sections of the Railways Act and for voluntarily causing hurt and intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace.
RPF inspector Chaman Singh Tomar, in charge of the Mirzapur railway station, said the accused have been released on a personal bond.
The accused, who were scheduled to travel on the same train as Gautam, claimed before police that Gautam was intoxicated and abused them, which provoked the assault. 'This claim could not be verified as Gautam boarded the train immediately and left without undergoing a medical examination,' said Tomar.
Later, Mirzapur GRP inspector Raghvendra Bahadur Singh reiterated that the accused were booked and released on a personal bond as the offence is non-cognizable.
Police have reviewed CCTV from the station and concluded that no one else was involved.
