Missing Pension Money: Complaint Handled Illegally?
In a small village in India, some money meant for old people and people with disabilities went missing.
A postman named Gautam reported this to the police.
But instead of properly investigating, the police and some local leaders allegedly made the postman and a young boy admit they took the money by threatening them.
The young boy even made a video saying he was forced to confess.
People in the village are upset because they think the police should have properly investigated the case instead of settling it outside the law.
The police say the matter was resolved through discussions, but the villagers are not convinced.
Rs 2 lakh meant for old-age and disability pensions went missing in Chinnambavi mandal.
Gautam, the postman, lodged a complaint with the police, but the matter was allegedly settled outside the legal process.
A minor boy claimed he and others were threatened and pressured into confessing, allegedly in the presence of local leaders and associates of a minister.
Residents allege that the police facilitated an illegal settlement and imposed monetary penalties on Gautam, Jaffer, and the minor boy.
The police claim that the parties resolved the matter through discussions outside the police station.
