24 May
Summary
- ITBP personnel protested alleged medical negligence leading to amputation.
- The protest involved ITBP personnel surrounding the Kanpur Commissionerate.
- The Kanpur police stated the case was sent for re-examination by CMO.
On Saturday, May 23, 2026, a video emerged showing over a dozen Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) personnel surrounding the Kanpur Police Commissionerate. This demonstration was prompted by an ITBP constable's mother suffering an amputated hand due to alleged medical negligence at a private nursing home.
The ITBP personnel sought justice and demanded action against the hospital and doctors involved. Opposition parties and social media users criticized the Kanpur administration, viewing the ITBP's actions as a sign of justice system failure. They highlighted the paramilitary forces' distress, compelling them to engage in symbolic protest.
Kanpur police stated the case, involving alleged medical negligence, was referred to the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) for investigation, following Supreme Court directives. A committee of doctors was formed. After reviewing the initial report, objections were raised, leading to the application being sent back to the CMO for re-examination. Further legal action will depend on the investigation's findings.
