The commissioner said two cases were reported in Urwa Police Station limits in the past related to denial of water connection to a flat owner by the apartment welfare association, along with an assault on a minor child of the said flat owner. After the cases were booked, the apartment welfare association sorted out the issue and the complainant decided to withdraw cases.

Three people -- Noel Sequeira, Novel Sequeira and Johan Sequiera -- visited the station and allegedly misbehaved with the woman constable. They also attempted to record the conversation with the inspector. The commissioner appealed to the public to be careful of their behaviour while visiting the police station.
