The family of an injured youth has accused police of deliberately ramming his motorcycle with a jeep and demanded an attempt-to-murder case. The youth’s mother released an audio-video recording that she said captured a conversation involving police after the July 16 incident, The Hindu reported.

The family of an injured youth has accused police of deliberately ramming his motorcycle with a jeep and demanded that an attempt-to-murder case be registered, The Hindu reported. The allegation concerns an incident on July 16. The youth’s mother released an audio-video recording that she said captured a conversation involving police after the incident.

The supplied material does not identify the injured youth, state where the collision occurred or describe the nature of his injuries. It also does not explain the circumstances preceding the alleged crash, identify the officers involved or say whether police have responded to the family’s accusation. The recording is described as allegedly capturing a police conversation.

The available information does not establish its authenticity, what it contains in full or whether investigators have examined it. The family is seeking a serious criminal case, but the material supplied does not indicate whether such a case has been registered. It also provides no independent account of the collision or finding by an investigating authority.

The allegations and the demand for action therefore remain the central reported facts. Any determination of responsibility would depend on an investigation and assessment of the recording and other evidence.
