MUMBAI, Aug. 24 -- The Bombay High Court on Tuesday ordered departmental action against two assistant police inspectors of the Dombivili police after they failed to act against an alcoholic who badly beat up his elderly parents. A division bench of justices Ravindra Ghuge and Gautam Akhand noted that the couple suffered two months of torture despite the police being aware of the matter. The officers, Praveen Ghutugade and Dhananjay Chavan, had only recorded a non-cognisable offence. The court's order comes after the couple's daughter filed a petition saying that she had gone to the police with CCTV footage of the assault, but despite the severity of the beating, they did nothing. On August 13, the bench granted protection to the couple and ordered the police to give the petitioner the contact numbers of police staff so that she could reach out in case of an emergency. The bench added that the police should have at least registered an FIR against the accused under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The bench said, "Our judicial conscience is shocked by such conduct and showing leniency in such circumstances would be unfair to the old couple, as well as, would set a wrong precedent."...
