'Son was arrested in murder case, acquitted later': Meena
The woman, in her memorandum, said her son was arrested in a murder case in 2018 and claimed that he was acquitted by a court in June this year.
Following this, Bharat opened a tea stall at Kailashpuri in Kota junction, Kanwaljeet told PTI.
She alleged that Goswami and Singh had been harassing her son since he was released from prison and threatened to frame him for possessing illegal weapons.
Policeman harassed, implicated son in false case
The policemen frequently entered the woman's house on the pretext of inquiry and misbehaved with her and her mother, she alleged in the memorandum.
According to Kanwaljeet, the two policemen also implicated Bharat in a false case for thrashing a youth a few days ago.
A video of the same incident also surfaced on social media. However, her son was seen nowhere in it, she told PTI.
Following this, Bharat went underground 10 days ago.
DSP refutes allegations
Meanwhile, Circle Officer of Railway Colony police station area, DSP Shankar Lal refuted the allegation of harassing the widow's son Bharat and the policemen's untimely barging into her house.
Bharat was accused of thrashing and attacking a youth in a case and the police visited the house to call him to the station for interrogation, he said.
The DSP claimed the woman could not produce the court's order of her son's acquittal in the murder case.
At least 10 criminal cases under various sections of the Indian Penal Code in Railway Colony and Bhimganjmandi police stations were lodged against Bharat, he said.
