We are all for clean-ups, but certainly not for clean-up terror. In a report in this paper we highlighted that the Mulund police have arrested a clean-up marshal supervisor for hurling a paver block at a citizen over non-payment of fine for spitting on the road. The incident caused the victim to lose two teeth and left him with a broken upper jaw.
The victim was seen spitting on the ground at the station. Two clean-up marshals demanded a fine of Rs 500 and he said he did not have the money - that’s when the trouble began. They abused him, searched his pockets and finally beat him up brutally, smashing his face with a paver block. He is recuperating now in a hospital, while the police have nabbed one marshal.
