MEERUT: After video of police abusing and slapping a woman for befriending Muslim, another disturbing clip of right-wing goons brutally thrashing the man in police presence emerged on Wednesday.
In the 50-second video that is doing rounds of social media sites, the right-wing group activists can be seen hurling abuses and assaulting the youth in a blue shirt right in front of policemen.
The policemen, instead of stopping the goons, questioned the Muslim youth instead.
“Padhai kar rahe ho ki love jihad kar rahe ho [Are you studying or doing love jihad?]?” asks one of the men while another can be heard saying: “Ek ek ko chun ke maarenge hum [Will pick each one out and beat them]”.

The girl accused the police of coercing her to file a false rape case against him because of his religion.

Both of them are nursing students at Sardar Vallabhbhai University.
Condemning the incident, Director General of Police Om Prakash Singh took to Twitter and wrote, “The Meerut incident is an act of gross imprudence by few cops,” he tweeted. “Irresponsible and insensitive behaviour by UP cops would not be tolerated. A job of a policeman is to maintain highest standards of probity which must be upheld at all times. Corrective action is being taken.”
