New Delhi, April 4
Five police personnel
including four women officers, were on Saturday suspended for beating up
two women accused of theft by their employer, police said.
Sub-Inspector
Rajbir Singh, of the South Rohini police station, picked up the women
from their house and took them to the police station. There, he along
with four women constables - Sarita, Mamta, Lakshmi and Shagun - beat
them up in a bid to make them confess to the crime, police said.
The
victims, both in their mid-20s, worked in a computer centre in sector 3
of Rohini in north Delhi. Their employer had accused them of stealing
golden ornaments from his house recently and filed a case against them.
The
women made a call to the PCR van and approached senior police officers
on Saturday morning after being let off from the police station,
following which action was taken against the police personnel
responsible.
The women were sent for medical examination at Bhimrao Ambedkar Hospital.
