A tragic incident unfolded near the Uttar Pradesh Assembly on December 31 when a Congress party worker lost his life during a protest. The worker, who had participated in a demonstration against rising unemployment, was allegedly beaten by police during the clash. Witnesses and party leaders have accused the police of using excessive force, leading to the fatal injury.
The Congress party has demanded a judicial probe into the incident, calling it a “case of police brutality.” In response, the Uttar Pradesh Police have stated they will conduct a thorough investigation, but many protesters and opposition leaders continue to condemn the government’s handling of the situation.
