Cop manhandled by trio including two under-trails

A police constable was allegedly manhandled near the Bhiwandi court in the district, by three persons, including two under-trials, police said today.
The incident took place yesterday when the police constable Mahesh Thakur was escorting the two under-trails to the Adharwadi jail from the Bhiwandi court, a senior police official said.
When the two under-trials Nayeem Khalil Momin (32) and Nissar Moinuddin Ansari (26) boarded the police van, their friend Mustafa Shaikh (27), who was near the vehicle tried to give them a cell phone, the officer said.
According to the police official, Thakur objected to this and was manhandled by Momin, Ansari and Shaikh.

Shaikh was apprehended and a case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code was registered at the Shanti Nagar police station, the officer said, adding a probe was on.
