“No police personnel has the right to beat any person unless ordered by their commander”, AIG Chand said adding that the accused would be punished.
On Friday midnight, Sugam Bam, son of Province four’s Police Chief AIG Kamal Sing Bam, was taken into police custody after allegedly abusing the police.
“The taxi driver informed the police that four of his passengers were quarrelling at Thamel,” the involved police personnel said adding that when he had gone to ease the situation, the son had verbally abused the personnel saying that ‘people like you cook food in my home.’
After continued quarrel, police had taken Bam in custody at Durbarmarg and released the following day after the mother came to rescue. Following his release, Bam filed a case against police claiming that he was beaten when in custody.
