He has even scratched my face badly." However, Chandrashekar, who works at Majestic as a Chief Ticketing Inspector, had a different story to tell.
"When I stopped, the constable pulled out the keys of my car and called up at the police station. When I asked him what right he had to do that, he started assaulting me. He pulled my collar and hit me," said Chandrashekar.
"I did not attack the constable at all. After he reached the station, he scratched himself only to put the blame on me after I said I would file a complaint," he added.
Around 1.15 am, both the parties filed their complaints at Halasuru Gate police station.
Head Constable Chikkaventaiah said, "The complaint will be registered tomorrow morning. We'll have to review both the complaints and then proceed with investigations."
