A 17-year-old boy allegedly committed suicide after four men purportedly assaulted him and urinated on his face in the district’s Captainganj area, police here said on Tuesday.
The men, who have been arrested, also allegedly recorded the act.
Superintendent of Police Krishna Gopal Chaudhury said Captainganj SHO Deepak Kumar Dubey was suspended and departmental action initiated against him.
Dubey had allegedly not acted against the accused despite the boy’s family lodging a complaint.
Circle Officer Pradeep Kumar Tripathi said an FIR was lodged on Monday based on a complaint by the boy’s uncle and the body sent for post-mortem.
“Strict action will be taken against anyone found guilty,” he added.
