The police confirmed the incident on Thursday and revealed that the victims had approached them immediately, but a case was only registered four days later. The police have since booked all seven men and suspended the three policemen, one of whom is an assistant sub-inspector.

According to the FIR, Nawab, a resident of Mustafabad and a meat supplier for the Ghazipur slaughterhouse, was driving home with his cousin Shoaib when they collided with a scooter near Anand Vihar. The FIR also noted that the two were transporting meat in their car at the time of the accident.

Following the collision, the scooter driver demanded Rs 4,000 as compensation. However, a PCR van arrived at the scene, and one of the police officers allegedly took Rs 2,500 from the meat suppliers and handed it over to the scooter driver, as per the FIR.

According to the report, the meat suppliers were forced by a police officer to pay Rs 15,000, with a threat of being taken to the police station if they refused. The victims claimed that the officer called in four others, who took them to a secluded area and physically assaulted them, including attempting to cut their hands with a knife and urinating on their faces. The accused also threatened to kill them and accused them of cow slaughter. The victims were coerced into giving Rs 25,500 and signing blank papers after being injected with a drug.

Case registered for extortion, causing harm voluntarily

As per the police, the victims were injured on their limbs and back and were subsequently transported to GTB Hospital. A case has been registered against the accused for extortion and causing harm voluntarily on March 10th.

A high-ranking police official stated that they are currently investigating the complainant's claims. Nonetheless, based on initial inquiries, departmental proceedings have been initiated against the three policemen who have been suspended until the inquiry concludes.
