New Delhi, Jan 18: The BSF has suspended eight jawans after a video, showing a man being stripped, kicked and beaten in West Bengal’s Murshidabad district along the Indo-Bangla border, was aired today on some channels.
The about 5-minute video, whose source and authenticity could not be identified immediately, shows three to four personnel donning BSF-style dark green fatigues beating up a man and tying him with sticks.
By late evening, the BSF suspended eight personnel.
The suspended personnel have been identified as Constables Virender Tiwari, V S Victor, Dhananjay Kumar, Anand Singh, Amar Jyoti, Sanjeev Kumar, Suresh Chand and Sunil Kumar.
