A woman with a two-month-old baby petitioned the District Collector to take action against the concerned police officials for booking her husband in false case of forgery. In her petition, the lady stated that two women namely Bindu and Mangalarasi claimed to be police officials visited her home on the 14th of last month. The women made enquires about her husband and the two mercilessly trashed this woman. The lady also stated that she is currently residing in her sister’s home and she was forced to furnish her address which she subsequently did.
