A 17-year-old boy died on Friday in UP's Unnao after he was allegedly beaten up by the police here for "violating" the ongoing ‘corona curfew' in the state.
Two constables and a homeguard have been charged with murder of the boy, police said.
Constables Vijay Chodhury and Simavat have been suspended and homeguard Satyaprakash has been sacked, police said.
The boy's family had alleged that he was caught by a constable for allegedly violating 'corona curfew' while he was selling vegetables outside his house. They alleged that he was thrashed with a stick.
The family further alleged that constable took the boy to a police station, where he was again thrashed. He was rushed to the Community Health Centre, where he was declared dead, the family alleged.
Agitated with the police action, the locals created a jam at Lucknow road crossing, demanding action against the guilty, a government job and compensation for the victim's family.
