Two officials of Sector 7 police station have been penalized by the authorities for their alleged misbehavior towards 5 people, including three minor boys, on the night of 8th April. Based on a report submitted by the Child Welfare Committee, Sub-inspector A Sethi has been suspended while another official S Nayak has been transferred to the Rourkela Police headquarters.
The incident in question happened on 8th April when a group of boys, managing the parking at Handloom Fair, Bhanja Bhavan (Sector 5) had an altercation with a lady police over the payment of parking fees of Rs. 10.
The boys in their allegation have stated that the lady police, who was in plain clothes, refused to pay the parking fees and began arguing with them.
Later on, she came along with her husband (also a police officer) to the spot. After which, her husband threatened the boys and called the Sector 7 police to get them arrested.
