In the hospital, Trivedi told media persons that he along with three constables was holding a routine checking at Ater Road on Saturday night.
“All of a sudden, more than 8 people including employees and relatives of a Liquor factory owner in Bhind, appeared there and started beating them with canes and the butt of a rifle. Later they fled from the spot. When I went Kotwali police station to lodge the FIR the police personnel just received my complaint but refused to lodge the FIR,” said Trivedi.
