Agra Additional Director General of Police Rajiv Krishna has ordered an inquiry into allegations that a group of police officers forcibly took away an oxygen cylinder from a boy who had arranged it for his mother, a critical Covid-19 patient,
The Times of India reported on Friday.
A video of the 17-year-old boy, Anshu Goyal, was widely shared on social media in which he can be seen on his knees, crying and pleading with the police to give him back the cylinder as his mother would die without oxygen. Goyal’s mother was admitted to a private hospital and died two hours later.
