Former Deoria Superintendent of Police Amitabh Thakur has begun an indefinite hunger strike in jail, demanding CCTV footage related to his arrest and detention. Thakur alleges evidence is being destroyed to protect police personnel and vows to continue his strike until the footage is provided, though he maintains faith in the judiciary. He was arrested on December 10 in connection with a case registered in September 2025 regarding a property transaction.
