Police blasted
HAD THE police acted on the written complaint by the victim’s father a week ago, Lokesh’s life could have been saved. Kataria had handed over the complaint at Madhav Nagar police station on December 10 explaining that a person was abusing them over phone.
He also mentioned that the number, from which the calls are made, 9827040464, was of Sandeep (Kataria handed over an acknowledged copy to the Hindustan Times). Kataria demanded immediate action against Sandeep but the police did not pay heed, resulting in the murder case. Amazingly, the cops are expressing ignorance over the complaint.
