Police have beaten up three people for violating traffic rules in Siraha. The police beat up three people at Naraha Chowk along the Siraha-Choharwa road.
Police officers including Deputy Inspector General of Police Rajkishore Sah, in-charge of Area Police Office, Naraha, Armed Police Force and Election Police beat them up. The beaten up persons are 24-year-old Baiju Mukhiya of Choharwa, Golbazar Municipality-8 and two others. According to Baiju, one of the beaten up persons, the police had snatched away the keys of his motorcycle as he did not have a blue book despite having a license during a joint check conducted by Nepal Police and Armed Police Force at Naraha Chowk. After that, the police let him go after showing him a photo of the blue book on his mobile phone.
However, after he had gone a little further from there, Sai Sah stopped him and slapped him four or five times, Baiju said. "I showed the blue book on my mobile, and when I insisted that I was going on an urgent matter, the temporary policeman asked me to go," he said, "But, the man with two stars and RK Sah on his uniform stopped me without understanding anything and slapped me."
Although Sai Sah had beaten Baiju, a video posted on social media shows 3-4 policemen brutally beating one of the other two with sticks and boots. While Sai Sah was beating Baiju, three people arrived on another motorcycle.
As soon as they saw the police, one of them abandoned the motorcycle on the side of the road and fled to the fields. However, the police chased the driver, who was about 21 years old, and another man, who was sitting in the middle, who was 30 years old, and beat them brutally. Baiju said that the 30-year-old man was injured more.
According to Baiju, both motorcycles were taken into custody by the police after the dispute. After some time, Sai Sah made them speak on his mobile phone in a video saying, 'It was not the police's fault, it was his own fault' and Baiju said that he finally gave them a motorcycle.
Although the details of the two of them could not be revealed, DSP Ramesh Bahadur Pal, spokesperson for the District Police Office, Siraha, said that they were believed to be from Sukhipur. Although it was seen that the election police, police, and armed police were beating them, Sai Sah was not involved in it, he claimed. 'This matter has come to us, we are investigating further,' DSP Pal said, 'So far, it is said that Sai himself is not involved, we are investigating this.'
