Bhubaneswar: The Commissionerate Police has placed a PCR van in-charge under suspension for dereliction of duty in connection with assault on a man by three miscreants in full public glare in Laxmi Sagar area of Bhubaneswar on Tuesday.

The victim, Parbindar Pal Singh, who works as a treasurer at Bhagaban tower was brutally assaulted by three youths following a quarrel over parking of vehicle.

Narrating the whole incident, Singh said, “I was on my way to home after picking up my children from school when I saw a car was parked blocking the road leading to our apartment. I got down from my vehicle and requested the three youths to move the vehicle from there. However, I anticipated from their behaviour that they might attack me and so I rushed into the apartment with my kids leaving behind my vehicle.”

“Later, a PCR van staff called me out of my apartment and as soon as I reached near the vehicle, the three miscreants attacked me in front of the PCR van staff. They hit my face and head with brick and stone but the cop remained a mute spectator,” Singh alleged.

Singh who sustained injuries on his face was admitted to hospital for treatment. After a complaint, Laxmi Sagar police has registered a case and launched a probe into the matter. While the three attackers have been identified, two of them have been arrested so far, police said.
