The police report came against the backdrop of the HC’s June 19 order, wherein it had sought a report from the MHA and the Delhi Police into the incident. The matter is scheduled to be heard on July 2.

Sources said police recapitulated the entire incident of June 16 and examined video footage as well as witnesses. It found that out of the 10 policemen involved, six held the man and his son and four allegedly assaulted them. The report also mentions that there was no point of the beating, and even though the father and son were aggressive, police should have “contained” themselves, for which they are being trained.
