One of the youths possessed a video camera and recorded the incident, he added.

Although, there were some heated arguments between him and the group of youths, there were no confrontation at all and he thought that the issue was over and resolved, Devson said.

However, after some days he came to know that he was summoned at JCILPS office, Devson said and added that he went to JCILPS office on September 8 .

After reaching the office, he waited for some hours for the talk.

Within a few seconds, the doors were locked and started assaulting him without uttering a single word to him, Devson said.

He also clarified that he did not use even a single abusive word against the JCILPS.

Saying that he is not against JCILPS and Devson appealed to the committee if he had spoken anything wrong against JCILPS by mistake during the altercation of September 5 .
