TIPRA demands action against traffic police officers who thrashed college students
The Hindu
Victim youths Angel Reang and Abhijit Debbarma alleged they were severely beaten up at the traffic unit office.
Tipraha Indigenous Progressive Alliance (TIPRA), a powerful regional political party, on Friday demanded exemplary punishment to traffic police officers and personnel who allegedly thrashed and injured two college students here on Thursday. The party set a three-day ultimatum to the police authorities to commence proceedings; else threatened to launch protests.
A few officers and personnel of the traffic unit were engaged in regulating traffic to facilitate VIP movement when they allegedly detained the youths for placing their vehicle in the middle of the road in the Circuit House area. The youths had argued that the vehicle developed mechanical snag and thus got stuck.
