The incident took place on Sunday at Karaira police station where the accused had come to record their statements in connection with a suicide abetment case, inspector Suresh Sharma told reporters.

According to the injured cop, a youth hanged himself in Toriya Khurd village of the district four days ago and the police registered a case against five people for abetment.

People from the youth’s side were called to the police station on Sunday to record their statements, he said.

However, a young man who had come to record his statement started making a video of the goings-on on his mobile. “When he was told to refrain from recording the video, about nine people thrashed me inside the police station,” said the injured cop.

A woman was among those who allegedly attacked the policeman, the official said.
