There are various types of forces for the security of crores of people of the country, the army and other central forces protect the borders, while the police are deployed in the states and union territories. The job of the police is to stop crime and send criminals to jail. However, it has been seen many times that policemen wearing uniform misbehave with people and even assault them. You must have often seen such videos, in which policemen are seen losing their temper and slapping a person several times. What can you do if this happens to you too?
Complain against the policeman
If any policeman threatens or slaps you, then you have the right to complain against the accused policeman… You should be aware. We can protest against this by becoming citizens. If you are cooperating with the police then the police do not have the right to slap you.
Where will the hearing be held?
If the policemen stop you on the road, police station or in a market for some reason, then they cannot be violent during this time. Provided that you are not violating curfew rules, trying to escape, or protesting violently, but if the police raises hands on you without any reason, then you can complain about it by going to the nearest police station. Now you must be wondering why would the police register a case against its own employee or officer? That is why if the case is not registered in the police station, then you can go to the DCP or SP office. You can also complain to the National Human Rights Commission.
When you go to the office of SP or any senior police officer to complain, apart from the scuffle, you should also complain about not filing FIR in the police station. Refusing to register an FIR is a crime under Section 166A, which can lead to a jail term of up to three years. Under Section 46, no policeman can beat or slap you. Under Article 21, you have the right to live with dignity, in such a situation no one can kill or harm you unnecessarily.
