The Commissionerate police on Friday submitted charge-sheet against three persons in connection with the attack on the Sikh businessman at Laxmisagar in the city on Tuesday.
Report of the Medical Officer, CCTV footages and witnesses’ statements are being relied upon in the case while a prayer has been made by the law enforcement agency before the Court of SDJM here for early cognisance and trial, police sources said.
Notably, the accused, identified as Sankar Rout, Deepak Mohanty and Deepak Jena, were arrested, but they later secured bail in a matter of a few hours.
Assault victim Parvinder Pal Singh has claimed that police did not book the attackers under stringent sections of the IPC, including Section 307 (attempt to murder), for which they were granted bail. He further accused the Commissionerate police of having a nexus with the accused resulting in inadequate action against them.
Singh had been assaulted by a group of youths despite the presence of police at the spot. The attack followed when he asked occupants of a car to move the vehicle as it was parked on road near an apartment causing inconvenience in vehicular movement.
However, they abused Singh, following which he sought the help of police by dialling 100. As cops reached the spot in a PCR van, Singh went near the policemen to apprise them about the matter.
But the accused thrashed Singh and hit his head and eye with a stone injuring him grievously. The assault took place in the presence of cops.
