BSF DIG wrongly booked for disrupting traffic; SI shunted out

Muzaffarnagar: A BSF Deputy Inspector General was allegedly wrongly booked for disrupting traffic during a protest in which he was not even present, following which a police officer was shunted out.

Several protestors were staging a demonstration against the death of a youth in a road accident in Vehalna by-pass yesterday.

A case was then registered against 150 people, including the BSF officer Jeetender Kumar as well as his brother and village head of Lachera, Devender under various sections of the IPC for blocking the road and disrupting traffic.

Devender alleged that police had falsely implicated his brother, who was not even present during the protest.

Following the faux pas, the in-charge of Vehalna police outpost, sub-inspector Rohit Kumar, was taken off active duty and shifted to police lines.
