Police sources said, “Koda recently slit the throat of Parmanand Tuddu. He was previously charged with blowing up the Jamalpur rail tunnel. Police are now questioning the criminal.” Police have arrested and detained six people in connection with Tuddu’s murder. Yogendra Koda, the former head of Azimganj panchayat, is one of them.
Police launch probe: A day after a woman staff at the secretariat in Patna was reportedly humiliated by the SHO of Sachivalaya (secretariat) police station, SSP Manavjeet Singh Dhillon on Tuesday constituted a committee headed by ASP Kamya Mishra to investigate the incident.
A video grab of the incident has gone viral on social media in which SHO CP Gupta could be seen threatening to put the woman behind bars.
The complainant, an employee with the secretariat, had gone to the Sachivalaya police station on Monday evening to register an FIR against unknown persons who had snatched her cellphone from near the gate of her office. “I was standing near the gate of my office when some bike-borne snatchers took away my cell phone. My colleagues suggested me to file a complaint with the police station concerned. Accordingly, we went there and submitted a written complaint before the SHO. When I demanded an acknowledgement for my complaint, the SHO suddenly became angry with me and my friends,” complainant Kanchan Kumari told IANS.
“He not only denied to give me an acknowledgement, but also threatened that he would put me in the lock-up. Luckily, my friends made a video of the entire incident. His behaviour was not only rude, but outrageous as well,” she said.
“We have constituted a team led by an ASP rank officer to investigate the matter. Based on the findings of the report, we will take action,” said SSP Manavjeet Singh Dhillon.
