Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Bhanu Kumar handed down the sentence to SN Khinchi, who was posted as Additional SP Rajsamand in 2000 when the incident occurred. He is presently posted as the Deputy Inspector General of Police CID (Civil Rights). However, on request of Khinchi’s advocate, the court suspended the sentence for a month.
It was alleged that the victims Ramesh Chandra Tank, Ramesh Chaplot and Bhagwati Lal were brought to the police station on October 2, 2000, on a complaint by a local man that they hurt his religious sentiments. The complaint was made to the Additional SP.
The officer tortured and beat them. The victims were sent to judicial custody and were released after two days on October 4.
