Accused Identified as History-Sheeters
According to Tardeo police, the arrested accused have been identified as Irfan Iqbal Sheikh (38) and Abbas Mohammed Ali Khan alias Bade alias Mohsin (29). Both were taken into custody for allegedly misbehaving with Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Sanjay Rane, who was on duty at the time of the incident.

ASI Allegedly Assaulted While Performing Official Duty
A police official said both accused have multiple criminal cases registered against them at different police stations. According to police, the incident occurred while ASI Sanjay Rane was performing his official duties. The accused allegedly pushed him, abused him and issued death threats.
Dragged to Beat Chowky and Threatened
Despite Rane stating that he was willing to proceed to the beat chowky on his own, the accused allegedly grabbed his uniform collar and forcibly dragged him there without seeking any police assistance.
Wrongful Confinement Inside Chowky Alleged
Police further alleged that the two confined Rane inside the beat chowky by bolting it from outside, preventing him from leaving. Even inside the chowky, the accused reportedly continued to assault and abuse him and issued threats.
