AfreenAli and Dashrat Devendra, the couple booked for filing a fake complaint against Vijay Singh, 26, who allegedly died after being thrashed by the Wadala TT police while in custody, spoke to mid-day about what happened on October 27. They accused the police of framing them, saying the cops filed two NCs (non-cognisable offence) one before Singh's death and another after. In the second NC, the cops allegedly took Dashrat's signature on a blank sheet and then wrote whatever they wanted.

"I don't know why the police registered two NCs, but whatever has been written in the second one is not what happened. The deceased had pulled Afreen from the back, which is what the cops had written in the first NC. But, they changed that in the second one saying the bike hit her from behind, which is not true. I don't know why they did this, they must be trying to save themselves as the person has died inside the police station. We did nothing wrong but the cops are troubling us after registering an FIR against us and telling us to surrender. They are visiting our homes and troubling our families too," Dashrat said.
