The victim was rushed to the hospital where he has since been receiving treatment.
The Commissioner of Police, Ari Muhammad, upon receiving the complaint, immediately directed that the case be transferred to state CID for a discrete and unbiased investigation.
The statement noted that both officers were found guilty after an orderly room trial and will soon be charged to court for prosecution.
The Command is however using this medium to warn its officers, to desist from human rights abuses and unprofessional conduct.
