The Ghaziabad police took action against one sub-inspector and two constables of the Indirapuram police station on Wednesday after they allegedly refused to file an FIR in a robbery case on Tuesday night and allegedly refused to take the victim for medical treatment.

According to the complainant Alok Kumar, a TV journalist, the incident occurred at around 10.30 pm on Tuesday when he was coming from his sister’s house in Niti Khand-1 after dinner.

“I was on my bike near St. Thomas School when six men approached me and forced me to stop. They beat me and robbed me of my two mobile phones and Rs 4,000 cash but did not take the ATM cards. One of them had a pistol with him and he hit me with the back of it on my head after which I started bleeding profusely,” said Mr Kumar, a resident of Gyan Khand-1 and a mediaperson.

“After 10 minutes, the men left on their bikes which were parked across the road and I called the police from a security guard’s mobile phone nearby. A PCR van came after 10 minutes and the police officials started taking my details,” said Mr Kumar. He added that when he asked them to lodge an FIR, they told him to get treated for his injuries and not worry about filing a case.

“The police officials did not take me to a hospital even though I was bleeding and instead asked me to go to the police station to file an FIR. After they refused to file an FIR, I went to my sister’s place in Niti Khand-1 and then she took me to a private hospital where I got stitches on my head,” said Mr Kumar.

On Wednesday morning, Mr Kumar’s friends tweeted to the official twitter handles of CM Akhilesh Yadav, UP police, Ghaziabad police and IG Meerut (zone) complaining about the incident after which the senior superintendent of police (SSP) took action against the erring police officials and lodge an FIR.
