Days after a video of Uttar Pradesh police officers assaulting a medical student for being in a relationship with a Muslim man went viral, a new video purportedly showing the man being thrashed by activists of Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) has surfaced.
In the new video, some men, allegedly belonging to the VHP, are seen assaulting the man and shouting, "Have you come hear to study or propagate love jihad." The police have detained 18 people associated with VHP, a senior officer said. The cops have also registered a case against 20-25 unidentified people.

Three police personnel, including the woman constable, were suspended on Tuesday for allegedly misbehaving with the woman.
