Cong candidate slaps policeman
Meanwhile, a contesting candidate, Mohammad Amin Bhat of the Congress party slapped a policeman at Devsar when the policeman stopped his workers for frisking.
Eyewitnesses said that large number of policemen were deployed at Kelam Gund where former Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad was supposed to address an election rally. "The policeman in plain clothes was doing his duty and was frisking people. The frisking process irritated some workers who complained to Bhat. The policeman refused to follow the Bhat's diktat to allow his workers without frisking. Cop's refusal infuriated the Congress candidate and he slapped and dragged him towards the road in full public glare," witnesses said.
The policeman who was slapped said: "He (Bhat) manhandled me while I was performing my duty. I will take up the issue with higher authorities."
Despite repeated attempts the Congress candidate could not be contacted for his comments. |
