After
Chandigarh police failed to arrest those involved in the attack on Mohit Verma,
a school student, his father Satish Kumar moved an RTI query with the
Chandigarh police, seeking details of efforts made by investigators to nab
culprits.
Mohit
sustained multiple fractures in his right leg after being forcefully taken from
his school and attacked at a local market on November 24. Only one of the
assailants, Nikunj Dutta of phase-2, Mohali, has been arrested till now.
Satish
Kumar said, "I visited Sector 39 police station twice and the SHO told me
not to interfere in police functioning. I wanted to hand over pictures of some
of the assailants my son identified but he refused to accept them. Moreover,
police is yet to receive medical reports of my son from the hospitals
concerned." Kumar said despite his son being forcibly taken from his
school, police did not add charges of abduction in the FIR. The victim was
standing in the playground of his school when three youths, including Nikunj
arrived, made him sit on their motorcycle and took him to market where they
thrashed him with blunt weapons.
When
contacted, SHO, PS 39, inspector Ranjodh Singh, said, "Nikunj was the main
accused and he was arrested the same day. Identification of other assailants is
pending and some of them are juveniles."
The
victim, Mohit was rushed to GMSH-16. On November 24, his family members took
him to CMC, Sector 17. A surgery was performed and an iron rod was inserted in
his right leg. He was discharged from the hospital on November 27 and a case
was registered at the Sector 39 police station.
