Meerut, March 29 -- A farmer was illegally detained for over 24 hours based on a fabricated rape complaint, in Amroha district. The superintendent of police (SP) Amit Kumar Anand took swift action by suspending the station in-charge and ordering a departmental inquiry into the incident. The case came to light after Ramdas, a farmer from Parora village, approached the police office on Thursday afternoon with a formal complaint. He alleged that a man named Jitendra had threatened to implicate him in a false criminal case through a woman. Despite this, Rahra police reportedly took Ramdas into custody on March 20 and kept him at the police station. According to the complaint, during his detention, police allegedly extracted Rs 1 lakh in cash and Rs 35,000 through UPI from his family under the pretext of facilitating a settlement. Taking the matter seriously, the SP ordered an inquiry, which was conducted by Hasanpur circle officer Pankaj Tyagi. The investigation revealed that the woman had initially filed a complaint on March 19, accusing a man named Pintu Tyagi of rape. However, the very next day, she extended the allegations to include Ramdas in the same incident. Further findings indicated that Jitendra used the fear of an FIR to extort a total of Rs 1.35 lakh from Ramdas's family. The probe also confirmed that Ramdas was held in illegal custody for more than 24 hours and was released only after a forced compromise. Based on the inquiry report, the SP suspended Brijesh Kumar with immediate effect and initiated departmental proceedings against him. SP Anand confirmed that an FIR has been registered against the woman and Jitendra at Rahra police station, and assured that both accused will be arrested soon....
