“They entered my house, pushed my door, they were misbehaving with me and were so rude. It took me three hours to convince the police to file the FIR since police themselves were also involved in it. Today, I am going to meet the (area) DCP,” she added when contacted her on Tuesday.

Apparently, it’s all got to do with a car loan that Rahul Raj Singh had taken from a bank and had been irregular in his repayments.

The man had come drunk and was not ready to leave even after we gave the money. So, Rahul took matters in hand and sent him out of the house.

“Last night, they again came to my house. I told them Rahul does not live here and that’s when all this happened,” she added.
