As per media reports, the incident took place on August 23 at the government residence of Reserve Inspector (RI) Saurabh Singh Kushwaha when he summoned the victim, identified as constable Rahul Chauhan.
Chauhan, who was on duty at the RI’s residence, claimed that he was called at 1:30 am by Kushwaha. Accusing him of negligence over the missing dog, the senior allegedly thrashed him with a belt and slippers.
According to him, both RI Kushwaha and his wife abused him using casteist slurs and physically assaulted him. He sustained injuries on his hands, back and legs, as seen in a viral video that surfaced on social media.
The victim constable filed a written complaint against his senior at the police station. His wife, Jayshree, also accused Kushwaha of abuse and threatened to die by suicide if justice was denied.
Kushwaha, however, denied the allegations and claimed that he had returned home to find the house in a mess, littered with cigarette butts and liquor bottles. He also accused the constable of being drunk, assaulting the dog, and abandoning it outside.
Taking cognisance of the matter, Kushwaha was suspended, and a departmental inquiry was ordered against him. However, tribal outfits, including Jai Adivasi Yuva Shakti (JAYS), and the Congress continued to protest, demanding a case under the SC/ST Act. Three Congress MLAs also joined the agitation.
