In a statement police said that yesterday police party took a round to secure night curfew after receiving complaints that some hotel/ restaurant owners are violating Govt orders and are running businesses well past the declared time. Since last 4 days continuous announcements were made for observence of Night Curfew and some restaurant owners were specifically advised to adhereto same.

Yesterday again police party talked to owner who instead of complying, started quarreling.
No one was beaten/ thrashed by police and the incident has been needlessly created using media and medical record for personal benefit.

The spokesperson added that, Reports of abuse and unparliamentary language have been received and same are being enquired into shall be dealt as per departmental rules.
