Angry villagers protested and blocked the national highway after a woman was allegedly killed in a clash between UP's Moradabad Police and locals in Bharatpur village of Uttarakhand's Udham Singh Nagar.
Uttarakhand Police on Thursday registered a First Information Report (FIR) against over 10 Uttar Pradesh policemen under attempt to murder and other relevant sections of the IPC, following a raid by UP Police on Wednesday in which one woman died.
Late on Wednesday, angry villagers protested and blocked the national highway after a woman was allegedly killed in a clash between UP's Moradabad Police and locals in Bharatpur village of Uttarakhand's Udham Singh Nagar.
"UP Police came here without informing anyone. They were not in uniform and were not carrying ID cards. Raids are not conducted this way. They entered a house, fired, and a woman lost her life. This is wrong. A case of murder has been registered," Nilesh Anand Bharney, DIG, Kumaon Range at Bharatpur.
The DIG said, "We're probing it. Had they (UP police) informed the local police, they might have been able to help them better as they are aware of the area. Injured UP Police officials went to Moradabad hospital without informing us."
