Forced to sit atop police jeep, woman falls off, injured
AMRITSAR:A video of a woman falling off a speeding police vehicle in the Majitha area of Amritsar district surfaced on social media on Wednesday, a day after the incident took place.
The woman, Jaswinder Kaur (32) of Shehzada village, has received injuries on her head, hands and other body parts and is undergoing treatment in hospital. The incident was captured in a closed circuit television (CCTV) camera.
As per reports, members of a crime branch team led by two inspector-rank officials, Palwinder Singh and Ravinder Singh, had gone to the village to look for the woman’s father-inlaw Balwinder Singh who was booked in a case last year.
When the crime branch personnel did not find Balwinder, they allegedly made the woman sit on the roof of Mahindra Bolero and drove it away.
After falling down on the road, she is seen getting up and trying to run away. Some passersby took her to the Majitha civil hospital, said the police.
A case was registered against unidentified persons on the basis of the medico-legal report (MLR) of the woman. A senior police official said action will be taken against the guilty after recording her statement.
