Imphal, May 15 2014 :
Amidst the uproar over forcing oil tanker drivers in manual work in Imphal police station, the OC of Patsoi police station has been blamed for pulling up and thrashing a complainant together with his family members.
Speaking to media persons about the Patsoi incident at Manipur Press Club here this afternoon, Thokchom Rishi said that he and his parents Rajen (55) and Meraton (47) were beaten by the Patsoi OC .
Rajen made a complaint to Patsoi P/S a few days back informing that Rajen's elder brother Koba of Yurembam Maning Makha Leikai, younger brother Deben and Deben's 17 year old daughter had gone missing.
In response to the complaint, Rajen, Rishi and Meraton were summoned by OC Sangamita and she allegedly thrashed them all.
Rishi was summoned and beaten on Tuesday, Meraton on Wednesday and Rajen today.
Rajen is currently undergoing treatment at RIMS.
Rishi was told by police that Rajen has psychiatric problem and he injured himself using a blade inside police lock-up.
Meraton, who was also present at the press meet, said that the lady police officer questioned and assaulted them severely pouring water over their bodies intermittently.
Police also counter-charged them for hiding the missing relatives.
Rishi urged the Government to take up befitting action against the police officer who allegedly tortured him and his parents.
