Police on Monday arrested about 50 persons along with Er Rasheed to foil AIP’s scheduled sit-in outside army headquarters at Badami Bagh against forced labour which army subjected to people from 1989 onwards.
Rasheed was detained on way to Badami Bagh and lodged in police station Raj Bagh.
Heavy contingent of police stopped Rasheed, dragged him out of his vehicle and allegedly manhandled him.
“Police men hurdled abuses at Rasheed and took him to police station Raj Bagh,” a party statement said adding watching the incident hundreds of people from adjoining localities gathered outside police station Raj Bagh and started slogans against police highhandedness.
