When Mohan and his neighbours reached the police station, Mohan went to the person in-charge i.e. SHO and told him what had happened with him at the village. He also said that he wanted to give the complaint in writing. The SHO rudely brushed him aside saying that he could not be bothered to waste his time writing down minor complaints and then investigating them.
