Two police personnel who had allegedly spanked a lawyer inside Geeta Colony police station in East Delhi were sent to police lines after the incident was caught on CCTV camera installed in its premises.
The police personnel, who have been shunted out, have been identified as head constable Ravindra and constable Sheeshpal. The victim has been identified as one Narendra Kumar, who practices law at Karkardooma Court. He lives on the first floor of a building in Geeta Colony. “The ground floor was rented to one Vishesh (23) by a woman. The tenant was running a meat shop there and Kumar had some objections over it. The woman, Vishesh and his friend Tarun allegedly thrashed Kumar over this issue. When the matter was taken to police, Kumar registered a case of assault while the woman accused him of molesting her,” said a police official.
Both the parties were accusing each other at the police station during which Kumar allegedly made some derogatory remark about the woman. This was when the two policemen lost their cool and got into a scuffle with Kumar trying to pin them down. The entire incident was caught on CCTV camera. When lawyers learnt about the incident, they converged at the police station in large numbers and lodged a protest following which senior police officials reached to the spot and assured them of strict action. The two errant policemen were then suspended and sent to police lines.
