Lucknow: Taking suo motu cognizance of the alleged police brutality on an advocate, Uttar Pradesh, the Allahabad High Court on Tuesday sought a complete report of the incident from the cityâs chief judicial magistrate (CJM).
An Etah-based advocate Rajendra Sharma was allegedly dragged from his house (in his advocate dress) and âbrutally beaten upâ by the local police on Dec 21. His family members were also âhumiliatedâ, as per the Bar associationsâ complaint.
Mr. Sharma and his family are reportedly battling a court case in connection with the encroachment of a house. The cops allegedly sought to sort out the issue in favour of the complainant in that case.
