A 22-year-old BTech student died after being beaten, allegedly by police personnel, in the early hours of Friday in Madhya Pradesh’s capital, Bhopal, officials said.

A video clip showed a policeman holding Udit Gaayke, while another is seen hitting him with a stick.

Constables Santosh Bamaniya and Saurabh Arya have been suspended in connection with the case, and further action will follow after the post-mortem report is received, Bhopal Zone 2 DCP Vivek Singh said.

Gaayke was rushed to hospital by his friends where doctors declared him dead, he said.

His friends said they were partying in Indrapuri last night. One of them was dropping Gaayke home around 1.30am, when the latter spotted police and started running into an alley, they added.

The two policemen chased him down and beat him.
