There is said to be an atmosphere of fear in the family after this incident.
Serious allegations of putting pressure on the police also
The complainant has also raised questions on the functioning of the police in his complaint. It is alleged that after complaining about the matter to the District Magistrate, the Inspector of Halka area of Kotwali Malihabad is allegedly putting undue pressure on the victim. It has been claimed in the application that an attempt is being made to withdraw the complainant's action by putting pressure on the police and an attempt is being made to dispose of the application by allegedly filing a false report. The complainant alleges that being troubled by the alleged harassment and threats of the village head, he has approached the authorities. The victim also alleged that the village head is putting pressure on the police and proper action is not being allowed to be taken in his case.
The victim appealed to the authorities for protection and trial
The complainant has demanded from the higher authorities that an impartial investigation should be conducted into the entire matter and strict action should be taken against the village head and his associates under the law. Also, the complainant has demanded to ensure safety of life and property of himself and his family. In the application, the authorities have also been requested to take the complaint seriously and give necessary instructions to the concerned police officers, register a case against the accused under appropriate sections and conduct an impartial investigation into the matter.
Many serious allegations raised questions
In this entire case, many serious allegations have been made within a single complaint like alleged misappropriation of government assistance amount, alleged fraud in land deal, interference in house construction, caste based abuses, threats, arriving with armed people and attempts to kill. At the same time, the police has also been accused of allegedly working under pressure from the accused party instead of helping the complainant.
However, the allegations made in the application have not been independently confirmed yet. The reality of these allegations will become clear only on the basis of police investigation and available evidence. Since the complainant has mentioned the CCTV footage, if the footage is available then its role can be important in the investigation. Now it remains to be seen whether the higher authorities take cognizance of this complaint and get the matter investigated impartially or not and if the allegations are found to be true, then what action is taken against the village head and other accused.
