"The SDPO in connivance of land mafia and is trying to encroach upon the land of the complainant for sake of money. The SHO concerned also refused to register the complaint of complainant and asked him to lodge the complaint with the SDPO, R S Pura, which is illegal", he said.
"The SDPO demanded and accepted Rs 20,000 as bribe to release the labourers from custody. He is directly involved in several land encroachment cases and there should be a thorough probe into it," Choudhary said.
He said the SDPO had breached his red line and had openly threatened to book the complainant under PSA if his conditions regarding bribe are not met. |
