A police officer here allegedly thrashed a man, who went to police station to lodge a complaint, after asking his caste.
The victim Balkishan complained to Superintendent of Police Abhishek Jorwal that he was yesterday assaulted when he went to Pillukheda police station with his friend Satish, whose wife ran away with a person, to lodge a report in the matter.
According to the complaint, Station House Officer Ramniwas dragged Balkishan to a room and thrashed him after asking them their caste. The officer was also alleged to have made life threats.
