Four police officers, including three sub-inspectors, have been suspended for allegedly assaulting BJP leader Manoj Pasi at the Jhunsi police station, officials reported on Thursday.
The suspension came after a formal investigation was initiated by DCP (City) Abhishek Bharti following reports of the incident.
“The case of BJP leader Manoj Pasi being assaulted at Jhunsi police station on Wednesday has been brought to my attention. As a result, three sub-inspectors and one constable have been suspended with immediate effect. A departmental inquiry has been ordered against them,” Bharti confirmed to PTI.
Manoj Pasi, the state co-treasurer for BJP라이브 바카라 Scheduled Caste Morcha, said that the incident stemmed from a dispute over land purchased by his younger brother four years ago. The dispute arose during the construction of a boundary wall, which was halted on January 13 due to a “false” application filed at the Jhunsi police station.
Pasi claimed that after the work was stopped, he visited the police station on January 15 to inquire about any official order to cease the construction, as January 13 and 14 coincided with major bathing festivals. During his visit, he was allegedly assaulted by Inspector Upendra Pratap Singh and other police officers, including sub-inspectors and constables.
