A man who identified himself as a "BJP worker" was arrested in Greater Noida for allegedly misbehaving with an on-duty police officer during a checking campaign.
The accused was also found drunk driving and did not have documents to his car when checked on the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Greater Noida) Abhishek Verma said.
The accused was identified as Rahul Bhati, who claimed to be a worker of the Ghaziabad unit of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), the BJP's youth wing. The BJP or the BJYM are yet to comment on the incident.
The police said the car in which Bhati was travelling was being driven at a high speed with sound blaring from its hooter when it was intercepted on the Bilaspur-Sikandrabad Road.
The windshield of the Maruti Swift car bore stickers of the BJYM and the BJP's flag. It also bore a sticker that read 'Adhyaksh: Mahanagar, Ghaziabad BJP'.
