Agartala, Jan 27 (FD) A controversy is raging over the alleged brutal assault on a doctor by a senior police official, Prasun Kanti Tripura.
An FIR was filed at NCC police station against DSP Prasun Kanti Tripura, which complained that that the police official had mercilessly beaten a doctor, Dr. Kaushik Debnath at Jagatpur area near the AG office multiple times including police custody at Abhaynagar and at G.B hospital when he was in the process of treatment.
According to sources, the police officials’ daughter was in a drunken condition and her mobile phone was robbed away by a group of miscreants.
Trouble started at about 10-15 when Dr. Kaushik Debnath, a resident of the area along with his father was passing by the spot.
When the doctor and his father reached the spot, Prasun’s daughter allegedly pounced on him and snatched away his mobile set. Within a minute Prasun Tripura himself and his accompanying policemen reached the spot and severely assaulted him despite protest by his father Benoy Debnath.
Debbarma allegedly also dragging him to the Abhay Nagar police outpost and beat him mercilessly.
When the injured doctor was taken to G.B Pant hospital for treatment and the attending doctor writing prescriptions, Debbarma allegedly again pounced on him and further beat him.
Speaking to reporters, Dr. Kasuhik’s father Benoy Debnath alleged that Prasun Kanti Tripura had done all this unprovoked and also in absolutely unlawfully.
When Prasun is posted in Southern most areas of the capital city, question raised how he could beat persons in the area which is not in his jurisdictions.
“The way Prasun Kanti Tripura assaulted my innocent son is not only illegal but a serious crime and he should be punished” Dr. Kaushik’s father said. FD JK
