Datia Superintendent of Police has written to the state police headquarters asking for the accused cop to be dismissed from service.
In a shocking incident, a police head constable in Madhya Pradesh's Datia allegedly killed an eight-year-old boy after he repeatedly asked for money.
The incident took place last Thursday and the head constable, Ravi Sharma, who was posted at Gwalior's Police Training School, was later arrested, Superintendent of Police (SP) Aman Singh Rathore told reporters today.
"The boy repeatedly asked Sharma for some money to buy food, but the cop refused to give money and drove the boy away. But the boy came again and asked for money. The policeman in a fit of rage strangled the minor to death," Mr Rathore said.
The accused told the police that he was suffering from depression for some time and got irritated when the boy kept demanding money from him.
