As per the complaint, Mohammad Imran (22) of Kasaba Bengre had applied forpassport; following which he was summoned to the Panambur police station for scrutiny of documents.
It is said a constable named Pereira sought details regarding the criminal cases of the applicant and also abused him in foul language. The complaint also said that the constable forced Imran to sing a blank paper and also lodged him in the lock-up for a few hours. It has been alleged that the cop even misbehaved rudely with a social activist who had been to the station on gathering information.
The complaint also stated that around six to seven years ago, when Ibrahim was in ninth standard, he was named as one of the several accused in the case of a group clash in Bengre, despite being innocent. Later he was acquitted of charges by the Juvenile Justice Tribunal.
However, Imran had no other criminal cases against him, but had given details regarding the case which was once registered against him in the application. Still, the cop abusing and assaulting him with a prejudiced motive is shocking, thecomplaint said.
