Kiosk run by deaf and mute siblings looted, family claims police not filing FIR

Dehradun: Owners of a kiosk, selling cigarette and soft drinks, have alleged that goods worth Rs 50,000 were stolen from their shop, which is located near ISBT in Dehradun, but the police officials aren’t lodging a complaint in the matter.
A family — woman and her two sons — runs the kiosk. “My first son is deaf and the other one is mute and yet we are being forced to run from pillar to post to get our complaint lodged.We had shut our shop after the lockdown but last Sunday, we opened it only to find goods worth Rs 50,000 missing,” said Rekha Gupta, whose sons run the shop. She added that the incident and the police response thereafter has traumatised my sons.
Meanwhile, a local police official said, “A complaint has now been lodged in the matter and probe is underway.”
