UP: Muslim man‘s wife moves court, 12 cops booked in murder case

The Uttar Pradesh Police on Sunday registered a case against 12 police officers for killing a Mulsim man accused of cow slaughter.

42-year-old Zeeshan Haider was killed in police firing in Deoband on 5 September 5, 2021. Haider’s family has been claiming that he has been falsely implicated in a cow slaughter case by the police.

The police officers were booked after Haider’s wife, Afroz, moved the court of Saharanpur chief judicial magistrate in November 2021.

In its order, the court directed the Uttar Police to register a murder case against sub-inspectors Omveer, Yashpal Singh, Asgar Ali, head constables Sukhpal Singh, Kunwar Bharat, Pramod Kumar, Vipin and constables Rajveer Singh, Devendra, Neetu Yadav, Ankit Kumar and Brajesh Kumar, PTI news agency reported.

She was at home with her husband when the police called him for an inquiry, Afroz told the court. She alleged that her family was later informed that Haider suffered a bullet injury in his foot. He was declared dead when brought to a hospital.

Meanwhile, the police claimed that they had received a tip-off about cow slaughter and raided a location where they found Haider and a few others with country-made pistols.
