Amid the outrage over the insensitive approach shown by the Uttar Pradesh Police to the accident victims in Saharanpur, the father of one of the boys have slammed the cops and called it a ‘murder’.

‘Had my child received first aid on time, he could have been saved. Even the doctors say that,’ father of one of the two young men who died in the bike accident told news agency ANI.

‘I want a case to be made on the concerned cops. It is a murder in a way,’ he added.

Meanwhile, the UP Police has promised action against the officials in the viral video, who allegedly refused to take the victims to hospital saying that it would ‘dirty their car seats with blood stains.’

‘UP Police is taking disciplinary action on it,’ Prabal Pratap Singh, Additional SP City Saharanpur said.

The shocking incident came to light on Friday night when the two youth fell into a canal after their bike rammed into an electric pole and the policemen refused to take the boys to hospital in their patrol car because of their unwilling to ‘soil car with blood’.
‘It came to our notice that PRB 970 reached on the spot (of the accident) and refused to take the youth to the hospital,’ said Superintendent of Police Pralabh Pratap Singh.

In a video that has gone viral, showed a young man crying and pleading the police to help his friends.

As he was pleading he begged a man standing nearby to check the pulse of his heavily bleeding friend and was replied with ‘he is dead.’ 

‘Bhaiya iski body thandi ho rhi hai. Kuch to karo. (His body is getting cold, please do something.),? pleaded the miserable friend.

However, the police officials examining the scene are not seen taking any actions.  The video shows a car or two stopping but then after a brief conversation, moving away from the scene.  SP Singh said they have seen the brutal video and are taking ‘disciplinary actions on the same.’
