SIRAHA: Madhes Police has formed a probe commission on the incident of physical abuse of a police constable in the office.

An inquiry committee has been formed regarding the torture of a police constable working in the district police office, Siraha, by tying his hands and feet inside the office premises.

He came today to inaugurate the newly constructed housing building of the District Police Office, Siraha.
