The complaint said that since Pawan is to be hanged soon, it is necessary to allow him to appear as a witness in the case to identify both the policemen.

The criminal complaint alleged Pawan was beaten on his head and body by a constable and an unidentified officer with a “danda” on July 26 last year.

On July 28, the same police officers allegedly assaulted Pawan again with “lathi, danda, and fist-blows on his whole body”.
