Several students, who had squatted on the tracks at Prayagraj in protest against the Railway recruitment test were injured, some seriously, when the police made a lathi charge to disperse them and clear the tracks on Tuesday.
Many videos surfaced on social media showing the cops breaking the doors of inns and guesthouses near the Prayagraj railway station to flush out the students, who had taken refuge there to save themselves from the lathi charge.
The videos also showed the cops hitting the students with lathis after forcing them out of the rooms from the inns and guest houses. Three cops were suspended on charges of using excessive force, the officials said in Prayagraj.
