KOLKATA: A Kolkata police constable died on Sunday after he was beaten when he protested against eve-teasing during Holi celebrations at his home in Birati on the outskirts of Kolkata. The police registered an FIR more than 24 hours after he was thrashed.
A group of seven inebriated youth barged into the house of constable Asim Kumar Dam (48) on Thursday and attacked him with hockey sticks and knives. They also beat other members of Dam's family, including his 78-year-old mother, brothers and sisters. The attackers are still absconding. One of them is the brother of a local CPM leader, claimed sources.
"They were abusive, made lewd comments and even tried to touch me," said Dam's niece. Her uncles protested. The gang left threatening to return. "They returned with arms," she said. First, they hit Dam on the head with a hockey stick. Dam's neighbour
Soma Banerjee said, "They beat him (Dam) so badly that his head was bleeding. Soon, he collapsed."
The Nimta police refused to accept a complaint by Dam's family on Thursday night. They later managed to lodge a complaint at the Airport police station the next morning.
