The police, however, have denied all the allegations.

Locals from Sector-3 area lodged a protest outside the police station Sector-7 in Faridabad demanding an immediate action against the erring police officials.

Yesterday, he reached home in 36Gaz colony of Sector-3 at night. Since there was no electricity in the area, the family started having dinner sitting outside their home, Prem said.
 

After some time three cops came and started beating him, he said.

He was taken to police post in Sector-3 and was further beaten. In the beating he got his arm fractured, he said.

SHO Police Station Sector-7 Faridabad said that there is no truth in the case and actually Prem was among the three men who were creating nuisance after drinking alcohol.

The police tried to nab them and they tried to save themselves by running here and there.
