Boiling oil from pan thrown by cops burns kids

“One of them threw the utensils and the oil splashed on the two children standing a few feet away. As they began to scream, a crowd gathered. The policemen then fled the spot, leaving their motorcycle behind,” Ismail Baig, a vendor who witnessed the incident, said.

The children were rushed to GTB hospital where they were discharged after treatment.

However, when family members went to Gokalpuri station, they alleged the officers there did not pay any heed to them. “We went to the station at 10 pm along with the children. They spoke to us for five minutes but did not register any complaint. After a few hours, they registered our complaint but it did not match our version of the events. So, I refused to sign it,” Mohammed Rajib, the children’s uncle, said.
