BENGALURU: Mohammed Tanveer’s family demanded that police constable, Ayyappa be arrested on charges of attempt to murder. They held a press meet on Tuesday and demanded justice for Tanveer. The department suspended two policemen on Monday. However, the family said it was not enough and strict action needs to be taken against the cops.
Tanveer, 23, was brutally thrashed by a constable and sub-inspector in DJ Halli, for attending a phone call while riding his bike on May 3. His elder brother, Mohammed Musveer said that Tanveer and his friend Danish stepped out of the home to by medicines for his father. After being beaten up brutally, Tanveer developed a severe pain and tried to cure himself by taking medicines.
But when he was taken to a private hospital and examined, doctors said he sustained severe internal injuries, which affected both kidneys. The family who came to know about the attack by the DJ Halli police recently approached the city police commissioner, T Suneel Kumar and an FIR was lodged against constable Ayyappa and Santhosh.
