NewsMobile fact-checked the above post and found the claim to be misleading.
We put the image through Reverse Image Search and found that the picture was taken in 2017.
According to a report by The Mirror, in 2017, a girl was allegedly raped in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Jagriti Hospital in Kanpur. These pictures were taken when an angry mob rioted and attacked the police.

Moreover, we did not find any recent credible report of police being beaten up any RSS member in UP.
