Once again the ugly face of Punjab police was revealed yesterday and at the receiving end was a 20-year-old girl.
In a shocking incident, a Punjab Police constable severely beat up the girl at the Bereta police station in Mansa, while his colleagues stood by.
The girl is a resident of Khudaal village and was accused of theft.
She along with another girl was in police custody for the past two days. Sources said Bereta SHO Sikander Singh had ordered to beat up the girl.
However, when the female staff refused to obey his order, he asked a policeman to do so.
As per the Punjab government directive, women cannot be summoned to police station alone and cannot be kept in custody.
