Kanpur: 2 UP Police Personnel Suspended After Viral Video Shows They Let Suspect Flee During Manhunt

Two Uttar Pradesh police officers were suspended after a viral video appeared to show them allowing a wanted suspect to leave moments before a raid. The video shows a sub-inspector and a constable interacting casually with Anoop Shukla, a man wanted by police, before he calmly walks away with a trolley bag. Just seconds later, teams from Nawabganj and Kohna police stations arrive at the scene, seemingly unaware the suspect had just left. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central), Shravan Kumar Singh, confirmed the suspension and said the officers’ actions appeared “suspicious” on initial review. An internal inquiry has been launched, and the case has been handed over to the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Colonelganj, for investigation. Uttar Pradesh: Cop Caught Taking Bribe To Alter Case Charges in Hamirpur, Video Goes Viral.
