Complaint against mistreatment by CISF officers HC Rajneesh Kumar Puri, officer from Northeast (ASI) and DMRC staff.
I want to bring to your notice that CISF Officers HC Rajneesh Kumar Puri and one northeast officer mistreated me while I was travelling in Delhi Metro from Chawri Bazar Metro Station.
1.I was travelling from Chawri Bazar Metro Station and HC Rajneesh Kumar Puri was on duty. Since the primary gate was closed, I noticed a commuter going from side and followed him. HC Rajnish Kumar CISF stopped me and asked me to come through security gate which I complied with. Thereafter he spoke with me in a rough tone and started using explitive abuses against me.
2. He was joined by an officer from Northeast background. I could not remember his name. He also joined in abusing me and when I told him that I was a Masters student he threatened that he will make an example of me.
3. Northeast Officer and one other took me forcibly to Station Control Room DMRC of Chawri Bazar. Here one Mr.Ajit abused and started threatening me. I provided a detailed written account of events, which he refused to accept. Instead he called HC Rajneesh Kumar Puri and made him write a false complaint against me by giving him access to CCTV footage. He also shouted and sided with CISF officers. Further, Mr. Ajit threatened me saying that previously he had caught a big person and handed him over to police and threatened to file an FIR against me. Ramesh Kumar, Inspector also came and threatened me.
4. Police officer was called and in her presence I was forced under duress to pay a fine, write an apology letter and photos of my Aadhar card were taken by Mr. Ajit. When I asserted that they had no right to take pictures of my personal documents, they said that I looked like a criminal and I could stab them with a knife outside.
5. I filed a complaint against the incident to Director General CISF however I was called to CISF office in Chawri Bazar and threatened that FIR will be filed against me by the Inquiry Officer himself. The Inquiry Officer did not call him, instead I was called by Mr. Ramesh who remained present in the room and continued to play mind games with me.
6. I have filed multiple RTIs to access the complaint but have been denied on grounds of national security. Meanwhile, the officers who misbehaved are scot free and not held accountable.
Country of complaint: India

This is Inspector Ramesh Kumar of CISF
CISF had earlier also misbehaved with Aman Sinha, 22 years old and pursuing Masters from JNU. Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel got enraged when he "defied" their instructions to take off his earphones, which is a laid down protocol that passengers are expected to follow.
Then another CISF person came and said you are spoiling the name of the nation, 'Pakistan bhejenge tum mussalay ko aaj.'(You Muslim, we will banish you to Pakistan today). They dragged me to the security office through the very long passage where there was no CCTV and no public.
They started abusing my mother and sister, thrashing and beating me very badly, saying that 'public k samne humara naam kharab kar diya'. I tried to record it which they later made me delete and threw away my phone," he alleged. The student was also asked to write an apology letter for his behaviour.
One of the officers also rubbed cow dung from his shoe on the student on his jeans
