Delhi policeman suspended after kicking nazis in Inderlok

NEW DELHI: On Friday, a sub-inspector in Inderlok, north Delhi, was suspended for reportedly kicking members of a congregation that was doing namaz.
The officer in charge of the Inderlok police post is Manoj Tomar. Outrage was sparked on social media after a supposedly recorded video of the event was widely disseminated. In the video, namaz is being performed by a group of individuals on a busy street.

After pressing and requesting that they move, Tomar is seen kicking and striking two or three individuals.
In the video, the subject claims that the officer kicked them when they were in the “sajda” posture, which is a kneeling position. As the throng encircles the officer, some can be heard yelling, “Beat him, beat him.” In addition, the sub-inspector is pushed.

It was requested that people relocate their prayers inside the mosque. Police
Tomar has been the target of action, according to Manoj Meena, deputy commissioner of police (North). We are initiating disciplinary action against him and have immediately put him under suspension. He said, “The situation has returned to normal, and the residents and we have requested everyone to uphold law and order in the region.
The event took place next to a mosque. The Inderlok police post was encircled by protesters after the event, and they stopped the route. Another video that has been circulated on social media shows a group of people gathered close to the Inderlok metro station. DCP (Northeast) Delhi Joy Tirkey condemned Friday’s event on his official Twitter account and advised people to uphold communal peace. According to the police, more patrols have been done in other districts, particularly those that are sensitive to community sentiment, and security has been tightened in the region to guarantee that no untoward occurrence occurs. A senior officer said that last Friday, police forbade individuals from erecting tents where namaz was supposed to take place.
Maulana Mahmood Madani, the head of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, issued a letter to the Union home minister pointing out that these kinds of acts “not only tarnish the country’s global reputation but also deepen a significant trust deficit.” The speaker emphasized the “long-term psychological effects on the Muslim community when law enforcement is involved in the crime.”
