UP police wrongly jails innocent youth for 12 days after he returns bag of money
Raebareli: In Raebareli, Uttar Pradesh, a young man named Gaurav alias Deepu was wrongfully jailed for 12 days after he returned a bag full of money that he found on the roadside. On August 20, Deepu, a resident of Jamunipur Charuhar, discovered the bag and reported it to the Gadganj police station. However, instead of being commended for his honesty, he was accused of robbery and arrested on August 26.
Local residents and traders protested against his arrest, demanding his release. The matter escalated, leading to an investigation by higher authorities. The investigation revealed that Deepu was innocent, and he was released from jail on Saturday evening.
Deepu recounted his ordeal, raising serious questions about the police's conduct. He alleged that the police kept him in the station for two days before taking him to a forest, where they handed him the bag and recorded a video, falsely implicating him in the robbery.
