DEVSAR
In a fit of rage, Congress candidate for Devsar Constituency Muhammad Amin Bhat Saturday slapped a police man on duty. Bhat allegedly stopped the policeman from frisking Congress workers and when the cop refused, he along with his workers not only manhandled him but also slapped him in full public view.
Eyewitnesses told CNS that large number of policemen had been deployed at venue in 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 and when the policeman refuse to oblige to Bhat’s plea, he (Bhat) slapped him and dragged him towards the road,” eyewitnesses said.
The victim cop told CNS on condition of anonymity that he will raise the issue with authorities. “He manhandled me while I was performing my duty,” he said.
Despite repeated attempts Bhat could not be contacted for comments.
