BANGALORE: A police officer who was allegedly caught slapping an employee of a private firm on a mobile phone camera is in the dock.
Kalyan Shetty, police inspector, Tilaknagar police station, was found collaring Rohit.
Harsha, a financier, allegedly lent money to Raviraj and there were problems between the two over the repayment.
Raviraj lodged a complaint against Harsha, alleging that the latter had kept him confined.
Harsha was called for questioning and he told police that his friend Rohit was with him. Rohit was booked as accused number two. On Sunday, inspector Kalyan turned up at Rohit’s house in Tilaknagar. Rohit claimed he had an anticipatory bail, but the inspector forcefully tried to arrest him. Rohit’s sister caught the drama on a mobile and the footage reached TV channels which beamed it.
Kalyan was not available for comment. Additional commissioner of police (law and order) T Suneel Kumar said they will look into the issue.
