Sambhal, Jan 15: No first information report has been registered against former Circle Officer Anuj Chaudhary, former Kotwali in-charge Anuj Tomar, and 20 other police personnel in connection with the Sambhal violence case, despite a court order directing action.
The Sambhal police are preparing to challenge the Chief Judicial Magistrate’s order before the High Court, officials said on Thursday.
Police to move High Court
Superintendent of Police Krishna Kumar Bishnoi stated that the police would file an appeal seeking cancellation of the magistrate’s direction. He maintained that police personnel did not open fire during the incident and claimed that the bullet injury sustained by a youth was not caused by police weapons.
Allegations by complainant
The complainant, Yameen of Khaggu Sarai, had named Anuj Chaudhary and Anuj Tomar in his petition, alleging that police firing during the violence injured his son, Alam. He also named 15 to 20 unidentified policemen. According to the complaint, Alam, who sold biscuits on a handcart, was shot during the disturbance.
