Lawyers raise questions over police raid in Abadi Karampura

Serious allegations have been raised against the Majitha Road police station after local advocates claimed that an illegal raid was carried out in the Abadi Karampura area in November last year during the Yudh Nashiya Virudh campaign.

Advocate Ankur Gupta, who is also Ward No. 6 in-charge of the Aam Aadmi Party, along with advocate Namit Mehta, has submitted a complaint to the administration highlighting several irregularities related to an incident that allegedly took place on the night of November 21 last year.

Addressing a press conference here on Tuesday, Gupta alleged that police officials arrived late at night in private vehicles, without wearing uniforms and without a search warrant. He also claimed that no women police officials were present during the operation. The team allegedly entered houses in the locality and threatened residents, including women and children.

The lawyers also pointed out major discrepancies regarding the vehicles used during the incident. “A Renault car was seen at the spot carrying a number plate that is officially registered to a Mercedes-Benz vehicle,” Gupta alleged.

He said the mismatch suggests the possible use of fake number plates, concealment of identity and manipulation of official records. He alleged that the action appeared suspicious and may require an independent investigation.

Residents of Abadi Karampura also alleged that the police team forcibly entered homes, assaulted some residents and threatened families.

The complainants have demanded suspension of the officials involved, forensic and RTO verification of the vehicle numbers, examination of CCTV footage and mobile videos, and cancellation of what they described as false FIRs.
