New Delhi:
In an incident of blatant misuse of power, Uttar Pradesh police forced an old man to polish the shoes of the entire station staff. The poor man, who had arrived at the police station to lodge an application of his lost mobile phone, ended up cleaning the shoes of the policemen.
The entire event was recorded on camera. The incident is yet another expose of pathetic law and order situation in the state. The shocking incident occurred in Charthawal police station, where 50-year old Sittu, a cobbler by profession, went to the police station to file a complaint of his missing mobile phone.
Following the incident, the Superintendent of Police Santosh Kumar said, “The probe is underway and accordingly action will be taken.”
In another similar shameful incident of the same police station had allegedly asked a 75 year old widower to get married instead of filing complaint against her step son and daughter-in-law.
