Without any notice, the policemen deployed there suddenly overturned the container of boiling water kept on my Momo cart. I tried to stop them and told them there was boiling water and that I would move the cart myself, but they did not listen.”She said the boiling water fell on her arms, chest, stomach, and thighs, causing severe burns. “I was in unbearable pain and suffered mental trauma. When my sister, who was with me, protested, she too was mistreated.”The woman said they belong to Uttar Pradesh’s Ambedkar Nagar and moved to Jaipur with her sister and mother after their father’s death. She added that she set up the Momo cart to support the family, and it is their primary source of income.Deputy police commissioner Ranjita Sharma said they reviewed the CCTV footage, and prima facie, it appears that the police asked them to move and left after advising them. “It is possible that the vendor moved the cart and the water fell during the process. An investigation is ongoing, and efforts are being made to obtain more footage, which will help establish the facts.”
