A 35-year-old woman alleged on Wednesday that she was made to sit on the roof of a police vehicle and driven around Shehjaza village in the Majitha Assembly constituency of Amritsar.
Identified as Jaswinder Kaur, the Amritsar-based woman alleged that she sustained injuries when she fell from the top at a sharp turn near Chawinda Devi village. She claimed that there was CCTV footage of the incident.
Police deny charge
However, the police denied the allegation, saying an investigation was under way.
The woman told reporters that a team of the Bureau of Investigation of the Punjab police had visited her house to arrest his father-in-law in a criminal case, but on not finding him, they allegedly made her sit on the roof of the police vehicle and drove around the village.
SP Amritsar (Rural), Parmpal Singh said the raid was conducted by a BOI team and no district police men were involved.
“I would be in a position to comment on the allegations of the woman after the matter is thoroughly investigated. The raiding team has also approached us and lodged a complaint against the woman for attacking the police,” he said.
