A cop had to pay a hefty price for preventing an MLA from entering the assembly premises.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ravindra Choubey announced suspension of the officer with immediate effect when the issue was raised by Pamgarh legislator Indu Banjare.
According to the legislator she was stopped at the barrier when she was on way to enter the state assembly to attend the session on Wednesday morning. She was denied entry for more than 10 minutes by the cop for not having vehicle pass even though she introduced herself to him as a legislator, she said.
After making her wait for more than 10 minutes, the cop let her go only after he took instruction from a senior official, she informed in the House.
Meanwhile, after taking cognizance, the Parliamentary Affairs Minister Choubey announced suspension of the cop with immediate effect.
