Vadodara: Raopura police station saw high drama late on Saturday night after police conducted drive against liquor near Vishwamitri railway overbridge.
Kin of one of the accused called an ambulance to the police station alleging that police had beat him up in the lock-up.
According to the police, accused Hitesh Thakor and his wife Anita Thakor were seen selling country-made liquor during their drive. When cops went near them, Hitesh started running and jumped a wall nearby. Police said that while jumping over the wall, he fell on the ground and suffered bruises. Eventually, he was nabbed and the couple was brought to Raopura police station where an offence under the prohibition law was registered against them.
Later, an ambulance reached the police station while Hitesh’s relatives created a commotion at the police station alleging the cops were beating him. Police allowed Hitesh to go to SSG Hospital on humanitarian grounds. At the hospital Hitesh also made allegations that he was beaten by a senior officer and he had been booked despite no illegal act done by him.
“The allegations made by him are all false as he suffered injuries due to falling off the wall. He is a history-sheeter as several cases of prohibition have been registered against him and he has also been detained under PASA (Prevention of Anti-Social Activities) Act,” said deputy commissioner of police Sandeep Chaudhary. tnn
