Mentally ill man creates ruckus at police outpost

Kanpur: A mentally disturbed man created a ruckus inside a police outpost in Farrukhabad district on Tuesday.
The police personnel on the duty at the police outpost tried to calm down the man but in vain. He also thrashed a constable and threw furniture on the road.
The incident occurred at Colonelganj police station under Fatehgarh Kotwali police station of the district. "Our initial efforts to pacify him failed.
He started hurling abuses at us, manhandled a constable and also damaged the police outpost furniture by throwing it on the road," said SSI Devesh Kumar. As the onlookers gathered, traffic was thrown out of gear. Later, he was overpowered by the cops.
"We didn’t register a case against him as he is mentally ill. Earlier, in the morning hours, he manhandled a coaching teacher and damaged the laptop of a student. He has been sent back to his home", the senior sub-inspector said. As per his family members, he is undergoing treatment at a local psychiatric center, the SSI added.
