Congress MLA demands action
Congress MLA from Bholath tweeted the video and questioned why no FIR was lodged in connection with the incident. He directed the query to the DGP and SSP of Chandigarh.
As per reports, Singh stated that he and two other police personnel were on duty, instructing auto rickshaw drivers not park on the road when the MLA arrived at the scene with his gunman, driver and two other associates. A scuffle ensued. As per reports, the traffic policeman filed a complaint at Sector 17 police station.
In his response, the AAP MLA denied any abuse or misbehavior towards the traffic policeman. He said that he was stopped at a traffic checkpoint where the policeman was using abusive and inappropriate language with people. According to Singh, the two other policeman present at the scene apologized and explained that the officer had a medical condition of high blood pressure that sometime affects his behavior.
Tagging the video of the incident, Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira tweeted, “Yet another abusive & unruly behaviour of @AamAadmiParty Mla Jaito Amolak Singh who’s seen abusing & misbehaving with a police officer of Chandigarh police. I’m shocked why @DgpChdPolice & Ssp Chandigarh are dithering to lodge Fir against such rouge politicians? Why will officers obey the orders of their superiors if they can’t protect their honour? I urge immediate action against him-Khaira @INCIndia @Partap_Sbajwa @INCChandigarh.”
