A watchman at a Khar housing society was allegedly assaulted by a tenant after asking the tenant’s visitor to sign the society’s register, we reported. The watchman has alleged that despite the assault, Khar police registered a non-cognisable complaint instead of an FIR.

The watchman recalled that he asked a lady who was visiting the tenant to fill in her details in the register as she entered the building, which she duly did. Yet later, the tenant he claimed assaulted him as the lady visitor was upset at being stopped and asked to fill in details. The housing society surveillance bore out those claims, with a medical examination showing both eardrums ruptured following the beating.
