Four Cops Suspended After Brutal Temple Brawl

Four Jharkhand Armed Police (JAP) constables deployed at the Rajrappa Temple in Ramgarh district were suspended on Monday. This action was taken after a video surfaced on social media, showing the officers allegedly beating a devotee on Sunday. The confrontation occurred during a period of heavy rush at the temple.

According to temple priests, the incident began when a devotee attempted to enter the temple through an exit gate, leading to a dispute with the constables. While one priest noted a senior citizen was permitted entry on humanitarian grounds, others in the family tried to force their way, escalating the argument.

Ramgarh Superintendent of Police Ajay Kumar confirmed the suspension of constables Shyamlal Mahto, Radhe Shyam Kumar, Bahadur Oraon, and Johnson Surin with immediate effect after an inquiry by DSP Chandan Kumar Vats. A request for a high-level probe and further suspension has been made to the Director General of Police.
