Naresh Dogra, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Security and Operations) in Jalandhar, and AAP MLA Raman Arora had an ugly spat over a property dispute between two shopkeepers in Shastri Nagar market on Wednesday.
In contrast to Arora, Dogra sided with the cloth merchant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A compromise was reached later at a media house in the city. Things only got worse as both sides used abusive language and manhandled one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arora’s supporters, such as MLA Sheetal Angural, also arrived at the scene to support Dogra. DCP (Investigation) Jaskiranjit Singh Teja helped Dogra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It lasted until the early hours of Thursday for the two sides to resolve their differences. The SC\/ST Act and Section 307 of the IPC were later invoked by Angural, Arora and their supporters against the DCP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There have been viral videos of the incident. Supporters of the MLA allegedly demanded a medico-legal report from the local civil hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Party leader Partap Bajwa tweeted condemnations after the incident. There is no safety for even a senior police officer under the AAP government. “What can be said about the safety and security of the average man.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a result, he slammed the two MLAs from the AAP. “These MLAs are habitual offenders of the law, so their conduct is well known. Further, I have been informed that rather than charging the MLAs, people who were assaulted were slapped with serious sections of the IPC.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
