In a shocking turn of events, six police officers in Agra were suspended on Saturday after failing to intervene during a violent altercation involving two police inspectors. The incident, stemming from a marital dispute, saw a male inspector being caught at the residence of his female colleague, resulting in a dramatic and public confrontation.
The saga began when the male inspector, who was stationed at Muzaffarnagar Police Station, was allegedly spotted by his wife at the residence of a female inspector from Rakabganj Police Station. The two inspectors had developed a personal relationship during their previous postings in Noida and had continued their affair despite being transferred to different districts.
According to sources, the male inspector’s wife received a tip-off about his whereabouts and decided to confront him. Accompanied by relatives, she arrived at the female inspector’s house in Agra. When the inspectors refused to open the door, the wife and her relatives forcibly broke it open and initiated an assault.
The confrontation escalated quickly, with both sides reportedly engaging in a physical altercation. The male inspector’s wife accused him of having been transferred to the Vigilance Department and of using his transfer as a pretext to visit his alleged lover. The dispute turned violent, with the male inspector and the female inspector being physically attacked by the wife and her associates.
A video capturing the incident has gone viral on social media, showing the male inspector being assaulted and his clothes being torn by the mob. The footage has sparked widespread outrage and concern, highlighting the gravity of the situation and the failure of the local police to manage the situation effectively.
In the wake of the incident, Agra’s Police Commissioner took swift action by suspending six police officers, including two sub-inspectors. The officers were reportedly seen filming the altercation rather than intervening to stop the violence. Their failure to act promptly and appropriately during the assault has been met with severe criticism from both the public and higher authorities.
