Man, allegedly beaten up by cops, hospitalised; enquiry on

A case of assault has been registered against a police sub-inspector and others after a man was allegedly beaten up at a police station in Telangana's Vikarabad district.
Deputy superintendent of police T Swamy said that Kanna Reddy, who is in his mid-20s, and his brother Shekhar visited the office of mandal agriculture officer on May 19 to ask about the status of their application for a license for seeds and fertiliser shop.
"Argument broke out between the agriculture officer Neeraja and Kanna and Shekhar. She called police, accusing Kanna and his brother of using abusive language. The duo were taken to Mominpet police station and later let off," Swamy told PTI.

On May 26, Kanna complained of pain in kidneys and was admitted to a hospital in Vikarabad. He was shifted to a hospital in Hyderabad yesterday.
His family accused that his kidneys were damaged only after he was beaten up at Mominpet police station.
Swamy said a case was registered against sub-inspector Raju and others under IPC sections 324 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 506 (criminal intimidation).

He, however, maintained that there was no evidence to back the family's allegations.
Kanna's parents also submitted a representation to Vikarabad superintendent of police T Annapoorna, who ordered enquiry into the incident today.
Meanwhile, a doctor treating Kanna told reporters that he had suffered injuries by a blunt object. His kidneys are not functioning properly and he has undergone dialysis twice so far, the doctor added.
