The policeman first dragged him, then slapped him a couple of times and finally threw him outside the police station because he questioned him as to why the head constable had brought his two uncles to the police station in a case which is sub judice. When Ahmed again returned to the police station to make a complaint against the head constable -- Devendra Singh -- no one allowed him to meet the station house officer. The duty officer and other police staff refused to book a complaint against the head constable. When the journalist informed the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Gandhi Nagar, the police staff at Shakarpur police station agreed to accept a written complaint.
