HYDERABAD: The Rajendranagar police were permitted by a local court on Tuesday to investigate into the alleged assault of a pan shop owner by four IPS probationers. However, no criminal case had been registered so far against the IPS trainees. The permission was given after the police moved the Ranga Reddy (West and South) Court in this regard "as contents of the pan shop owner, Siddappa's complaint are non-cognizable." The Rajendranagar Inspector, K. Srikanth, said that Siddappa's complaint was submitted to the court. Mr. Srikanth made it clear that no First Information Report (FIR) was being issued like in other cases. The police would file a chargesheet after obtaining medical certificates pertaining to the injuries suffered by Siddappa in the clash and conducting `panchanama' of the damaged property. Subsequently, summons would be issued to the probationers for recording their statements in the court. "Appropriate provisions of the IPC will be added, if necessary, on completion of investigation," the Rajendranagar ACP, B. Narsimulu, said. Meanwhile, the police were contemplating altering Section 307 (attempt to murder) of IPC booked against Siddpappa and the locals. This would be done after ascertaining the nature of injuries suffered by the two trainees -- Keval Khurana and Anand Kumar Tiwari. While Tiwari was discharged, Khurana was undergoing treatment at the Jubilee Hills Apollo Hospital. Speaking to reporters at the hospital, Khurana refused to compromise with the other party saying the latter tried to kill him. "What if I was killed in the attack?" he questioned. He felt that he and his colleagues and the pan shop owner and the locals committed a mistake by indulging in a fight. But it was the exorbitant price of Rs. 150 allegedly demanded by Siddappa for a cigarette pack costing Rs. 59 that led to the clash, he said. As a clash ensued, some 20 stick-wielding persons allegedly chased him and hit him on his head. His right arm that he fractured after an accidental fall during horse riding was injured. Asked if the IPS trainees consumed liquor, the National Police Academy Deputy Director, Ashish Guptha, said they might have taken a couple of pegs. "But, there is difference between a person who took some liquor and those over drunk. Nevertheless, police investigation would reveal facts about all these angles," he said.
