Even after showing the identity card and pass issued by the authorities, the police took away the key of the vehicle alleging that the pass did not mention the registration number of the vehicle.

“I called the CMC commissioner, who in turn spoke to the police. However, later, the police wielded a lathi at me before handing over the two-wheeler key,” alleged Nagaraju to DH.
