    Ajay Rebello,kallyanpur,because he was transporting liquor in his van doesnt mean he should be assaulted by Police.Now since some time this Police problem is become a problem to the soceity.How many people died in their custody ,but last they give other reasons .for their death.Do they think when these people died there were their home people ,what would be their reaction ?Heartfelt sympathy to the family.Why the hell they beat or assault the arrested?Have no right to touch someone ,let alone assault a arrested one.Have to handle them as human not as a piece of wood.May his soul rest in peace.
