Cops Attacked In Maharashtra's Bhiwandi Earlier This Year:
A similar incident also took place in February this year in Maharashtra's Bhiwandi, three police personnel, including a sub-inspector, were injured after being attacked by a mob of 40 to 50 people while investigating a POCSO case lodged at the Narpoli police station.
All the police personnel injured in the attack were posted at the Narpoli police station. The police stated that on February 18, a 15-year-old minor girl was allegedly subjected to abusive language and obscene gestures by her neighbors. When her father confronted them, he was beaten up. Distressed by the incident, the girl consumed phenyl in an attempt to harm herself. She was rushed to IGM Hospital and later approached the police.
As the case falls under the POCSO Act, a police team was dispatched to Varahal Devi in Kamatghar to locate the accused. However, when officers inquired about their whereabouts, a crowd of 40 to 50 people gathered, leading to a heated argument. Suddenly, one person pelted a stone at the police, triggering a physical assault.
