In cross-firing between police and criminals in a Mathura village on Wednesday, an eight year-old boy was killed. Four policemen were suspended and district magistrate Sarvagya Ram Mishra ordered a magisterial inquiry into the case.
Chief minister Yogi Adityanath had announced an ex-gratia of Rs 5 lakh, which was handed over to the aggrieved family on Thursday.
The boy, Madhav Bhardwaj, had got trapped in the crossfire while he was playing with his friends.
On the basis of Srivastava's inquiry report, sub-inspectors Virendra Singh Yadav and Saurabh Sharma and constables Subhash Chandra and Udham Singh were suspended for dereliction in duty.
They are among the six policemen who had reached the village on Wednesday evening on getting information about the presence of suspects involved in a loot case in Mathura.
