He said the complaint had been forwarded to the headquarters.
Mr. Modak reportedly beat the police officers posted at his residence in Moradabad on Saturday for not informing him about the visit of Samajwadi Party (SP) leader S.T. Hasan and keeping the leader waiting.

Meanwhile, Mr. Hasan said the SSP’s staff kept him waiting for over an hour when he had gone to meet him.
He claimed that Mr. Modak had only scolded his staff and did not beat them in front of him. He said the charge is false and he would write to the Home department asking why the SSP was suspended.
