Saharanpur (UP): Three police personnel have been booked in Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur district for refusing to take two wounded teenagers to a hospital allegedly because they did not want blood stains in their vehicle, a senior police official said on Sunday.
The delay led to the death of Arpit Khurana and his friend Sunny, both aged 17.
The two were on their way home on Friday night, when they lost control over their motor-bike and it crashed into a pole in Beri Bagh area.
On the basis of a complaint by an eyewitness, the FIR was registered against the policemen at Janakpuri police station late on Saturday night.
Locals rushed to the scene and pulled the teens out of a drain they had fallen into after the crash. The teenagers were seriously wounded, the SP said, adding that the residents then informed the police on the 'Dial 100' service.
The policemen reportedly refused because the blood of the injured teenagers would stain their vehicle, the SP added.
