BANGALORE: DCP G Ramesh was one of the policemen who was injured in the attack against police on City Civil Court premises on Friday. Undergoing treatment at a private hospital, Ramesh recounted the horror of the day when law and order took a beating to Express. Seated in a white bed in Room Number 213 of Mallya Hospital with bloody wounds near his right eye, he said, “I was on the night rounds the previous night (Thursday) and had to continue through the morning as former minister Janardhana Reddy was to be brought to the court. The commotion was a sight of horror for everyone there. Law and order seemed to be slipping between our fingers and as law bearers, we tried our best to stop the commotion. In the stone pelting that ensued, I was hit on my head, chest and shoulder by many big stones that were thrown from the court building,” he said, looking a bit shaken. “I felt utterly sad and distressed to see my fellow colleagues and constables being beaten up. My courage was still not damaged, but even we have a family. It was a very irresponsible behaviour,” he explained. At the same hospital lies another injured cop with four stitches on his head. The cop, D Rajendra, said, “I was the first one to be attacked. A glass window came crashing over my head and I started bleeding. For a while, I thought the end was near,” he narrated. He explained with tears that his parents are poor farmers from Kanakapura are were very proud of his job.
