"They were in plain clothes. One hit my camera and it fell down. When I picked it up they hit and abused me. I was locked up, stripped and they urinated in my mouth," he was quoted by news agency ANI as saying. In a video released by the news outlet, the policemen are seen beating the journalist.

As outrage over the incident grew, the Uttar Pradesh police said DGP UP OP Singh had ordered for immediate suspension of SHO GRP Shamli Rakesh Kumar and constable Sanjay Pawar.

The journalist, however, expressed his disappointment over the investigation. "I was beaten up in the station. All police personnel present at the station should be suspended," he told CNN-News18.
