29-year-old lawyer and his wife were booked after they allegedly created a drunken ruckus at the Sitabuldi Police Station and misbehaved with police personnel in the early hours of Sunday. The woman allegedly grabbed the collar of a female police officer and pushed her while resisting police action. The accused have been identified as Naveed Parvez Opai (29), a lawyer and his wife Ayesha (25) (name changed), a homemaker. Both are residents of Gondwana Chowk, Sadar. According to police, the incident began around 2.45 am after a beat marshal informed Sitabuldi Police about a couple quarrelling outside Piccolo Pub on North Ambazari Road. A team, including a female police officer, reached the spot and asked the couple to stop arguing and accompany them to the police station. Police said the woman became aggressive, allegedly abused the officers, grabbed the female officer’s collar and threatened them with consequences.

 

The couple was then taken to Sitabuldi Police Station. However, the commotion continued inside the police station. The couple allegedly argued with police over being brought separately and the woman again pushed the female officer and other personnel. Senior Police Inspector Suhas Raut said that a case was registered against the couple for obstructing public servants from discharging their official duties, assaulting and using criminal force against police personnel and other relevant offences. Further investigation is underway.
