The son of a senior leader of Bharatiya Janata Party and district panchayat chairperson misbehaved with a doctor in Kaushambi district hospital on Sunday evening.
Irked by the incident, the doctor lodged a report with Manjhanpur police. While the charges were being probed, no action was initiated against the accused so far.
As per reports, a woman from Maheva Ghat area was admitted to Kaushambi district hospital for delivery on Sunday evening and was being attended on by Dr Rekha Singh.
On Sunday evening, BJP leader and District Panchayat chairperson Awadh Rani’s son JP Singh reached the hospital and claimed that the admitted woman was his relative. Later, he had an altercation with Dr Rekha Singh over the time of delivery.
It was alleged that Singh misbehaved with the doctor and also threatened to get her dismissed from service.
On hearing the unsavoury exchange, other health workers reached the spot and they intervened and somehow defused the situation.
Anguished over the misbehaviour, the lady doctor lodged a report against JP Singh with Manjhanpur police and investigation were on.
Meanwhile in Bulandshahr, a sub-inspector extorted money from a cloth merchant by threatening to set him up in a fake case.
The matter was brought to the knowledge of senior officers after which the sub-inspector was suspended and an inquiry was ordered.
As per reports, Asheesh Agarwal, who owns a ready-made garment showroom in Bulandshahr, was sitting at the grocery shop of his younger brother as his shop was closed due to lockdown. On Saturday morning, Sub-Inspector Yashpal, posted at Ramghat police station, took him to the police station and threatened to book him in a case for selling pan masala which has been banned during lockdown.
The cop demanded Rs 1 lakh from Agarwal but a deal was struck for Rs 30,000, out of which Rs 20,000 was paid immediately and Rs 10,000 was to be paid later on.
Soon after being released by the sub-inspector, Asheesh Agarwal informed a local MP and local BJP leaders about the police excess . With their help, they met Bulandshahr SSP Santosh Kumar Singh and narrated the incident. The SSP immediately summoned ASP (Rural) Harendra Singh and asked him to find the facts. After the charge was confirmed, the SSP suspended sub-inspector Yashpal and ordered a departmental inquiry against him.
