In a brazen display of muscle, an Indian Police Service ("IPS") IPS officer allegedly unleashed policemen on an NRI businessman just because he overtook the cop's vehicle on the Jehanabad-Patna road on Sunday, April 18, 2010.
NRI - the name given to those who continue to call themselves Indian and are living outside India - Sajendra
Bihari Singh was on the way from
Masaurhi to his native village Dharahara under the Punpun police station
in
Patna district. "I was carrying heavy cas and was,
therefore, in a hurry to
reach my home," said Sajendra, who runs a restaurant in Russia and was at
his home
in connection with a project to open a hotel in Patna.
Sajendra overtook
the police vehicle at Bhaluan village near the Nadwan railway station
and
reached home. It was after the police vehicle also came screeching to a
halt
outside his home that he knew that IPS officer Vivek Kumar,
currently posted
as Jehanabad's Assistant Superintendant of Police ("ASP"), was in that vehicle.
"Hardly had I got down from my
vehicle ... The officer's bodyguards pounced on me and started raining
lathis and
fisticuffs on me," Sajendra said, and added they even slapped his ageing
father
Brij Behari Singh and brother Samyukta Bihari Singh when they tried to
intervene.
As villagers assembled there, the cops took the NRI to the
Parsa police station. "There, the officer himself rolled up his sleeves
and
thrashed me," Sajendra said, adding the officer and his bodyguards left
but not
before Vivek warning him to keep his mouth shut.
A humiliated Sajendra Behari,
however, tried to lodge a written complaint with the Parsa police station.
To no avail though.
"I have filed a complaint case in the court," he
said and
showed the injuries on his back, hand and face. While ASP Kumar on
Monday
afternoon didn't take calls on his mobile and his landline phone
attendant said
he was asleep, Jehanabad Superintendant of Police ("S.P.), Chandrika
Prasad said Sajendra was detained for rash
driving but was let off "with due respect" after he introduced
himself.
ADG (HQ) P.K. Thakur, with whom Sajenndra spoke to while
appearing live on the TV channel, said he has asked him to submit a
written
complaint so that a probe could be initiated into his allegations.
"Let him give a complaint; appropriate step would be taken," he added.
