Three persons allegedly misbehaved and tried to assault a woman constable in Urwa Police Station on Wednesday.

According to City Police Commissioner N Shashi Kumar, Pooja Hiremath, the woman constable, suffered injuries on her leg while the uniform of Head Constable Narayana was torn while trying to stop the assault on the woman constable.

Narayana too suffered injuries. Both have been admitted to Wenlock Hospital. Police have taken two persons into custody following the incident, Kumar added.

The commissioner said two cases were reported in Urwa Police Station limits in the past related to denial of water connection to a flat owner by the apartment welfare association, along with an assault on a minor child of the said flat owner. After the cases were booked, the apartment welfare association sorted out the issue and the complainant decided to withdraw cases.

Three people -- Noel Sequeira, Novel Sequeira and Johan Sequiera -- visited the station and allegedly misbehaved with the woman constable. They also attempted to record the conversation with the inspector. The commissioner appealed to the public to be careful of their behaviour while visiting the police station.
