According to reports the man identified as Gulfam, took the drastic step because of police inaction regarding his complaint. “
Two days ago, my e-rickshaw and Rs 2,200 were snatched from me. Despite repeated appeals, the police refused to file an FIR,” he alleged. Gulfam also accused a Circle Officer (CO) of threatening to falsely implicate him in a drug case if he persisted with his complaint.
The incident has sparked outrage and raised questions about the accountability of local law enforcement.
Meanwhile, police sources offered a different perspective, claiming that Gulfam was under stress due to a personal matter. "A female relative of Gulfam had filed an FIR against him just a day before, which may have contributed to his actions," an officer said.
