TWO HELD FOR ROUGHING UP COPS IN B’NGIR
Saturday, 19 October 2013 | PNS | BALANGIR | in Bhubaneswar
Local police in Balangir arrested
two persons in connection with manhandling a constable and a Home Guard inside town police
station on Wednesday night.
According to reports, a PCR
van received a complaint that a few young men were creating disturbance in the
Palace line area by
drinking liquor and gambling in public. Police reached the area and brought the
situation under control.
However, at around 10.30
pm, the youngsters, allegedly caught gambling and
trouble-mongering, while returning from a Durga visarjan went to the town
police station to lodge an FIR.
Trouble
brewed when they asked a policeman for a pen to lodge their complaint.
A
heated exchange of words took place between the youngsters and the police,
which subsequently escalated into violence with the men roughing up a constable
and a Home Guard.
A
case was registered in the town police station and two men were arrested.
On
being allegedly beaten up by the police, one of the arrested, identified as
Sajjain Acharya, sustained injuries.
“There was an allegation of
public consumption of liquor with gambling by some young men near the Palace
line area. A PCR van went there and cleared the area. Disgruntled with police
action, the men wanted to settle scores and resorted to roughhousing a
constable and a Home Guard on duty. Of the four accused, two were arrested and sent to court,”
said
SP Ravi Prakash,
rubbishing all charges of police assault on the two men after their
arrest.
