Bidar: ASI suspended after he lathicharged Moulavi returning from vegetable shop
Humnabad: A 35-year-old Maulvi who was returning home a vegetable shop on Wednesday morning at Kallur Road in Humnabad in Biday District has sustained serious injuries when the local police allegedly beat him up with lathi and charged at him.
Hafiz Shaikh Naseeruddin, the imam of Masjid-e-Murad, located at APMC Market in New Colony, was on his way back home when assistant sub-inspector Basavaraj allegedly charged at him with a lathi. Naseeruddin sustained serious nose injuries and had to be taken to the Gulbarga District Hospital for treatment.
Speaking to Vartha Bharati, Shaikh Mehboob, uncle of Naseeruddin, said: "Three to four vehicles had already passed through that road but police stopped only Naseeruddin, looking at his beard, skull cap and kurta. ASI Basavaraj then started abusing him and said 'the coronavirus is spreading in India because of you people'."
Mehboob continued: "The ASI then tried to hit Naseeruddin on the head. Naseeruddin tried to escape and the lathi hit him on the nose. His nose has been fractured."
Humnabad CPI Nanegoudar refuted the allegations of Mehboob and added that it was a mere incident and that Basavaraj did not hit Naseeruddin deliberately.
Bidar Superintendent of Police, D L Nagesh speaking about the incident added that he has ordered suspension of ASI Basavaraj and that an departmental enquiry will be set-up against the officer.
