Accordingly, the Court directed an investigation into the entire matter by an officer not below the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The investigating officer in the below titled case had misbehaved with the person accused in the instant case as well as the counsel representing the accused. He had not only verbally abused the accused and his counsel but had also threatened and intimidated them with dire consequences, just short of physically assaulting them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that such misbehavior on part of the investigating officer could not be countenanced under any circumstances as is supposed to be a protector of law and not a predator. Consequently, the Court directed registration of zero First Information Report as well as an investigation into the matter by an officer not below the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Furthermore, it was brought to the Court&#8217;s notice that the investigating officer had tendered an unconditional apology by the later half of the Court session, however, the Court directed submission of apology in writing by way of an affidavit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Rameshwar v.
