“They asked me if they could drive my vehicle and I rejected. They entered inside and asked me to drive to the Thana but half way, one of the cops asked his friend to fire”, he said adding that he became nervous and as he drove nearby, they beat him up. “My family members have approached the In charge, Ladrymbai Outpost and also the Officer In Charge Khliehriat PS to lodge a verbal complaint but they failed to accept it and instead they asked us to come the next day with a motive to seek compromise between the erring Police men and the victim.
