“Two policemen came to our house on a
motorcycle around 6 pm yesterday. I was alone and they asked the whereabouts of
my father. I told them I had no idea where my father had gone. They called up
the SHO and later asked me to accompany them to the police station. When I
refused, they thrashed and dragged me by my hair,” the victim alleged.
