Lucknow, Aug 11 - Three policemen in Uttar Pradesh were Tuesday suspended for assaulting a 16-year-old school student and parading him half-naked on the streets of Baraut town in Baghpat district, an official said.

Two sub-inspectors and a constable were placed under suspension after they beat up the boy, wrote insulting remarks on his chest and back and paraded him half-naked Sunday on the streets of Baraut town in Baghpat, some 350 km from state capital Lucknow.

'We today (Tuesday) suspended three policemen with immediate effect for their role in an incident in which a teenager, who was accused of sexual harassment, was manhandled by a police team,' district police chief Deepak Kumar told IANS on phone.

The class 11 student had a nightmarish experience with the police when his motorcycle accidentally hit a woman's car.
