Two youths died in Uttar Pradesh’s Saharanpur in a motorcycle accident after their bike rammed into an electric pole and they fell into a canal, reported news agency ANI. Police officials who reached the spot allegedly refused to carry the victims for medical help.

Take them in a tempo,” one of the policemen can be heard saying.

“The concerned policemen were suspended immediately. We will receive a report in 24 hours after which we will take action accordingly,” said Prabal Pratap Singh, Additional SP City Saharanpur.

“Had my child received first aid on time, he could have been saved. Even the doctors say that. I want a case to be made on the concerned cops. It is a murder in a way,” lamented the father of one of the deceased youth.
