A Locksmith was dragged to the police station where a sub-inspector rained blows on his face, fracturing his nose and causing it to bleed on May 16. All this happened inside Manikpur police station after a dispute over Rs 20 for making duplicate keys for a GRP personnel. Misusing his power and authority, the sub-inspector favoured the GRP personnel to verbally abuse and physically assault Mohammad Ali Ansari. Despite reaching out to senior officials, an FIR was registered 12 days after the incident and six days later, the rogue policeman was suspended.
The key maker Mohammad Ali Ansari told mid-day that a GRP personnel walked to his shop and asked him to make two duplicate keys. “I told him it will cost Rs 40 per key and made him two keys within a few minutes. He gave me a Rs 500 but I didn’t have change. So, he made an online payment but transferred only Rs 60. When I told him that he had paid me less than what was decided, he started arguing with me and said he is a policeman,” Ansari said, adding that he didn’t know the name of the GRP personnel but the payment was received from a Sachin.
