In their petition, they said the city and the district police have behaved rudely with the youth in their families. They also alleged that “without proper warrant, the police entered our houses in the late hours and targeted youth.”
They also said that the family members of the arrested were not informed about the place of investigation. “The police got signature from the arrested in white paper and registered many cases with fake evidence,” they alleged.
They also complained to the Collector, “those who were arrested were tortured by the police in an inhumane way that amounts to human rights violation” and demanded departmental proceedings against them.
