New Delhi: A doctor was allegedly beaten up by CISF staff posted at Shahdara Metro station in the national capital on Saturday.

The alleged incident happened after the doctor associated with Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan Hospital (LNJP) mistakenly put his bag on wrong counter during security check, following which a CISF staffer misbehaved with him.

When the doctor asked the CISF personnel not to be rude with him, another security person intervened and both of them forcibly took Beriwal to the security room, where he was beaten up with a lathi.

A case has been registered and Delhi Metro Rail Police are probing the claims of the LNJP doctor.

Meanwhile, CISF DG (Metro) has assured of fair investigation and said that strict action will be taken if his men are found guilty.

Bejriwal took to Facebook to narrate the incident. Here's his post:

The barbaric face of CISF I was forced to see today :

Today while for going to my duty, I entered Shahdara metro station at around 8.45am,by mistake I kept my bag on a wrong table to which the CISF person(Jitendra)said to me very rudely " tere liye alag se police wala bulau kya.. chal bag udhar rakh " . I asked very politely to not to speak in such manner to which he said "sitaare nhi dekhe hai kya mere" . When I said I am doctor, please behave properly, he said "tu hoga apne ghar me doctor.. mai nhi maanta.. ". He literally caught by shirt collar and dragged me to the remand room . 2-3 more person joined him and inside the room.

The first thing they did was start beating me with their Lathi without even saying a word. They kept beating me on my back, hips and face. Before i could even understand anything , one of them kicked my genitals. They slapped me so hard and turned my face red . They snatched away my mobile to avoid any evidence. All time they were abusing me and used all sorts of cuss words. I was continuously pleading to let me go . It was only after a while when they felt they had enjoyed enough that they left me. I was assaulted inside the room for more than 10-15mins continuously by 2-3 CISF persons.

I barely was able to walk and somehow managed came to emergency of my hospital. I have bruises all over my back , hips and face. You can see the medical report which says about all of my serious injuries.

Everything is recorded in CCTV footage of metro station , how they dragged me to the room, how i came out of the room all beaten up and injured. You can also see all these in photos how inhumanely they beat me for their fun.

Just because someone asks them politely to speak nicely , doesn't entitle them to beat me so grievously and cruelly. The CISF needs to understand they are here to protect public of real terror and not from a doctor who by mistake keeps bag on a wrong table.
