Protest Erupts Over Alleged Attack in Gorakhpur: A Call for Justice

BJP MLC Devendra Pratap Singh led a sit-in in Gorakhpur, advocating for justice for a police constable arrested for allegedly attacking a doctor. The incident stems from a fee dispute escalating into violence, prompting community protests and demands for a broader investigation into the involved parties.

BJP MLC Devendra Pratap Singh spearheaded a sit-in protest in Gorakhpur on Monday, demanding justice for a police constable arrested following an alleged assault on a doctor. Singh, along with local support, called for an FIR against the doctor, highlighting unresolved tensions after a hospital dispute.

The incident began on October 3 when constable Pankaj Kumar and his family visited Dr. Anuj Sarkari for medical issues, leading to a heated argument over fees that escalated. Kumar was accused of attacking the doctor with a hammer the next day, resulting in his arrest.

Singh questioned the integrity of the investigation and demanded scrutiny of Sarkari's assets. Supporting Kumar, organizations like the Rashtriya Hindu Mahasabha have joined the protest, pressing for police action against the doctor. Meanwhile, Sarkari remains unavailable as the investigation continues.
