Case details:<br />

The victim Sri Manmohan Kuanar (46) was a resident of Marahata Sahi, Cuttack.<br />

Manhoman often quarreled with his elder brother, his wife and children, who lived in the same place.<br />

On 23 March 2008, when Manmohan was at home, his elder brother, his wife and their son came to his<br />

house and scolded him and his nephew also beat him. Then Manhoman’s family members fought with<br />

the accused intruders.<br />

Later Manhoman gave a written allegation about the incident to the Officer-in-Charge (OIC) of Chowdwar<br />

police station. Even after Manhoman approached the OIC at least seven times, he did not take any<br />

action, so he took the case to the Inspector-in-Charge. This step outraged the O.I.C and he verbally<br />

abused Manhoman. He also slapped him twice and kept him in the police station. When he was in the<br />

police station, his brother was laughing at him.<br />
