A sub-inspector posted at Hanumant Vihar police station in Kanpur has been accused of assaulting and misbehaving with a trader. Acting on a complaint by trader Yogesh Kumar, Police Commissioner Raghuvir Lal has sent the accused sub-inspector, Shailendra Kumar, to the police lines. The investigation has been handed over to the ADCP South.
According to the trader, a bike rider was involved in an accident with his car. The bike rider suffered minor injuries, and he was ready to bear the cost of his treatment and the repair of the vehicle. Meanwhile, some people who reached the spot demanded Rs 20,000 from him to settle the matter. When he refused, the police were called and he was taken to Hanumant Vihar police station.
Yogesh alleged that at the police station, the sub-inspector assaulted him and made a derogatory remark, saying, 'It is the police’s job to turn an animal into a human being.' He also alleged that money was taken from his pocket and that he suffered injuries to his nose and ears.
After receiving the complaint, the Police Commissioner took action in the matter and ordered an investigation. According to police officials, further legal action will be taken on the basis of the investigation report.
