UP Cops Pull Student's Hair For Blocking Amit Shah's Convoy
ALLAHABAD:Two women students of Allahabad University were arrested on Friday after they waved black flags at the convoy of BJP president Amit Shah who was visiting the city. Both of them were dragged, with one of them grabbed by her hair and beaten by a policeman.
A video that is being widely shared on social media shows the two students standing in the middle of the road and blocking the lead vehicle in the BJP president's convoy and then waving black flags. Another male student too can be seen waving a piece of black cloth at the convoy.
Male policemen then rush in and drag the three protesting students away. As the three are pushed into a police vehicle, a policeman can be seen hitting one of the women students, Neha Yadav, with his baton. Another police officer grabs her by her hair and pushes her towards the vehicle. In a video shot from another angle, a senior police officer can be then be seen rushing in to intervene and shouting, "no beatings".
Police said the students - 25-year-old Neha Yadav, 24-year-old Rama Yadav and Kishan Maurya - will be produced before court today. The three of them are part of Samajwadi Party's student wing, the Samajwadi Chatra Sabha.
Police said Neha Yahav is a pursuing her PhD and Rama Yadav is doing her postgraduate studies at Allahabad University.
"Students were trying to show black flags in a peaceful manner but they were brutally assaulted and abused and there was no lady police. The law was violated. Male officers misbehaved and assaulted ladies," Samajwadi Party leader Richa Singh said.
The Uttar Pradesh police have banned black flags, handkerchiefs or clothes from the rallies of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath after a series of incidents where blag flags were shown to him in rallies across the state.
In June last year, 12 students were arrested by the Lucknow police and charged under serious sections of the law for showing black flags and holding up the convoy of Yogi Adityanath at a Lucknow University function . The Lucknow Police charged the students under serious offences including rioting, and rejected accusations of an overreach and said that the students were responsible for a breach in the Chief Minister's security protocol. The students got bail a few months later.

Delhi: Father, son held for killing 19-year-old woman in suspected honour killing
New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi Police has arrested a man and his son for allegedly murdering his 19-year-old daughter in west Delhi's Hari Nagar area, an official said on Friday.
The case first came to light on April 1 after a PCR call was received around 2 pm, alleging that a woman had been killed by her family members and her body was being taken for last rites, he said.
The accused, identified as Mohammad Maneer (55), a vegetable vendor, and his son Meraj Ali (19), were arrested in connection with the case, the officer said.
The victim had been in a relationship with a man from her native place for the past two years, which was opposed by her father, Maneer and brother Meraj, he said.
"When the girl did not end the relationship despite objections, the family killed her," the officer said.
On April 1, the police said that when their team reached the spot, they found that the woman's body was being taken for burial.
Acting on the input, the burial process was stopped over suspicion of honour killing.
"Police intercepted the family members and took possession of the body," he said.
Police said that the man who had made the PCR told them that the woman was in love with his cousin.
During the inquiry, police also interacted with the PCR caller, who said his cousin, a friend of the deceased, had informed him about the situation and suspected foul play, prompting him to alert the police control room.
The body of the woman was subsequently shifted to the mortuary of Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital for preservation and postmortem.
Police said that both the crime team and the forensic science laboratory (FSL) team were called to inspect the scene and collect evidence.
Police said that, as per the postmortem report, the cause of death was identified as smothering, indicating that the woman was suffocated.
A preliminary inquiry also revealed that the family had initiated preparations for the last rites soon after the woman's death, raising suspicion about the circumstances.
Initial investigation pointed to the family's opposition to the woman's relationship.
"The family members of the woman saw her with the man, and she was taken back home. We got to know that she was beaten up and even locked inside the house for some days," a source said.
Further investigation into the matter is underway, police added.
