11 police suspended for jailing minor

The boy was a minor with a poor financial background. He earns his livelihood by selling vegetables. But this didn’t deter the policemen who surrounded him for free vegetables. When the boy refused to part with his vegetables, he was treated like a criminal and a false case was thumped on him. He was even shifted to a central jail. Thanks to the chief minister who acted on the letter written by the victim’s father, an inquiry team has been constituted which has found 11 police men guilty in creating such false case. All the policemen were suspended and a Deputy Superintendent of Police was served show-cause notice yesterday. The boy was shifted to a juvenile home and he is expected to be released soon. Justice at last!
