'They (police) told my mother that they would arrest me for assaulting policemen if I fail to surrender in the next two days,' said Hasan, who possesses a medical certificate to prove his disability.

To get justice, Hasan has taken the help of some local journalists to bring the matter to the attention of senior police officials, who have assured him that they will take 'appropriate action' action against the erring policemen.

'We have initiated an inquiry into the matter and stern action would be taken against the policemen who booked Hasan without carrying out proper investigations,' said Deputy Superintendent of Police Harishanker Shukla.
