A suspended police constable arrested in connection with the abduction and murder of a minor girl faced intense public wrath at Gorakhpur District Hospital in Uttar Pradesh when police escorted him there for a mandatory medical checkup. As soon as bystanders and visitors at the hospital identified the accused, Abhishek Yadav, an enraged crowd confronted him and initiated a violent physical assault. The sudden outbreak of violence triggered chaotic scenes across the medical facility, forcing on-duty police personnel to swiftly intervene and create a protective barrier to shield the custody suspect from the agitated mob.
Furious Mob Attacks Accused Officer Up to Hospital Gate
The atmosphere inside the hospital premises turned highly volatile as people recognized Abhishek Yadav during his medical examination. Shouting abuses and expressing outrage over the horrific crime, numerous individuals pushed past security and repeatedly struck the suspended cop. The commotion intensified as the crowd continued to thrash the accused while police officers scrambled to move him through the corridor toward the exit. On-duty officers struggled against the mounting crowd, eventually extracting Yadav from the mob near the hospital gate and spiriting him away to safety in a police vehicle.
CCTV Clue Leads to Arrest and Recovery of Child's Body
The tragic case dates back to the night of July 28, when the young girl went missing under mysterious circumstances from the District Hospital campus falling within the jurisdiction of Kotwali police station. Investigating officers systematically analyzed CCTV surveillance footage from the hospital surroundings to trace her movements. The footage revealed Abhishek Yadav enticing the child onto his motorcycle under the pretext of offering her a ride back home. Armed with this critical video evidence, law enforcement apprehended Yadav. During sustained interrogation, the suspended officer confessed to committing the murder and subsequently led investigators to the location where the girl's body was hidden and successfully recovered.
Suspected Sexual Assault and Prior Criminal Antecedents
Given the nature of the crime, police authorities suspect that the child may have been subjected to sexual assault prior to her murder. However, officials stated that definitive legal confirmation regarding sexual violence can only be established once the comprehensive post-mortem examination report is finalized. Further background checks revealed that Abhishek Yadav possesses a troubled past, having previously been arrested and jailed in connection with a separate rape case. Following his release after serving time relating to the Jamalpur matter, he had been posted with the Dial 112 emergency response network prior to his suspension.
Forensic Evidence to Guide Further Legal Proceedings
Senior police officers affirmed that interrogations of the suspended constable are actively continuing to uncover every dimension of the crime. Authorities emphasized that subsequent legal actions, including the framing of stringent charges in court, will strictly depend on the findings detailed in the post-mortem report and forensic investigation results, ensuring a watertight case for prompt judicial redress.
