Lucknow, Aug 7 - Can a 60-year-old physically challenged man who cannot even stand on his feet 'run away' after attacking a police team? The Uttar Pradesh police believes he can.
In Etawah district, some 300 km from Lucknow, Ale Hasan, a man with 80 percent disability, has been booked for attacking a police team during a clash between two groups in Bakewar town of the district.
'I cannot move an inch without any support and they (police) have slapped criminal cases against me,' said Hasan, a resident of Kidwai Nagar in the district.
He has been booked under section 307 (attempt to murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and section 7 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act for attacking a police team during an Aug 3 clash between two groups over a land dispute.
Hasan came to know about the criminal cases against him when a police team Thursday raided his house while he was not present there.
