Preteen Girl 'Battered Inside Police Station' in Uri
URI; A police officer of Jammu and Kashmir Police has been accused of thrashing a minor girl inside a police station in Uri town.
Parents of an 11-year-old girl have knocked the doors of the minister after a police official allegedly thrashed their daughter in police station Bijhama, Boniyar area of Uri town, a report said.
Bijhama village headman Abdul Hamid said Station House Officer, Hyder Ali, called the fifth class student to police station in connection with case relating to a family feud.
“The officer charged her with canes and thrashed her to pulp and she lost her conscience,” he said, adding that without calling women police the officer tortured the little girl.
Muhammad Yousuf Mogal, the girl’s father, said that he along with his daughter approached to the health minister Taj Mohi-u-Din who represents the area in the state assembly for action against the police officer. “The Minister wrote to Senior Superintendent of Police in Baramulla district who assured us prompt action against the officer,” he said.
The officer confirmed that the family had approached the minister for action against him. “I did not beat her and the allegation leveled against me is baseless,” he said.
“A family had lodged a missing report about a woman and in that case we had called this girl in police station as we felt she was having information about the whereabouts of the missing woman. Without even touching her we traced the missing woman,” he said.
