Raidurgam Police Station Torture Alleged By Three Youths
Hyderabad: Three youngsters have alleged that police personnel subjected them to third degree torture at the Raidurgam Police Station on Sunday, March 8. The incident has triggered concern after details of the alleged assault were shared by MBT party spokesperson Amjed Ullah Khan.
According to Amjed Ullah Khan, the sequence began late on Saturday night. At around 12:20 am, Mohammed Fazal Ur Rahman Akeef, 20, was standing with his friend Abdul Rahman near T Hub, opposite Niloufer Cafe.
A policeman allegedly approached them and slapped Fazal Ur Rahman Akeef without provocation. The officer also snatched the keys of his two wheeler.
When Fazal Ur Rahman Akeef started taking photographs with his mobile phone and questioned the action, another police personnel allegedly took away his phone. The two youths were then taken to Raidurgam Police Station and asked to return in the morning.
Allegations of assault inside Raidurgam Police Station
Later on Sunday, Mohammed Fazal Ur Rahman Akeef returned to the Raidurgam Police Station along with his friends Syed Areeb and Mohammed Sohail. They were reportedly told to wait for the Inspector of Police.
While waiting, the youths noticed their two wheeler parked inside the station premises. They began taking photographs of it. At that moment, another police personnel allegedly slapped Mohammed Sohail and took his phone.
Soon afterwards, the Inspector of Police arrived and called them into his office. Three to four police personnel were already present there. The Inspector asked their names and checked their Aadhaar cards.
During the conversation, he suddenly spoke something in Telugu. Immediately afterwards, all three youths Mohammed Fazal Ur Rahman Akeef, Syed Areeb and Mohammed Sohail were allegedly beaten by the police personnel.
“They were first beaten with hands and later assaulted using tyre chappals and shoes while lying on the floor. During the assault, the youths were also allegedly abused using their religion. When the youths informed the police that they were fasting in the holy month of Ramzan, the beating reportedly became even more severe,” said Amjedullah Khan.
The spokesperson also stated that Syed Areeb had recently undergone a tumor surgery on his head and was suffering from a fractured hand. Despite showing the fresh surgery stitches and the fractured hand to the Inspector of Police, Raidurgam, the police personnel allegedly continued the assault.
“The incident raises serious concern as the police personnel showed complete disregard for his medical condition and physical vulnerability, and continued the assault even after being informed about his recent surgery and injury,” said Amjedullah Khan.
Later, the MBT party spokesperson visited the Raidurgam Police Station and demanded strict action against the Inspector of Police and the personnel involved.
He said the youths were fasting and had committed no offence, yet they were allegedly assaulted and abused inside the police station.
Amjed Ullah Khan demanded that the Telangana Government and senior police officials conduct a fair inquiry and suspend the officers responsible. He also warned that if justice is not delivered, Majlis Bachao Tehreek will launch a strong protest seeking accountability and protection of civil rights.
