A day after Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Jarnail Singh helped stop an SUV, which had a traffic constable stuck to its bonnet, he has alleged Delhi Police’s inaction in the case.
The incident took place on Tuesday evening on Nairana flyover and the AAP lawmaker tweeted the video and tagged Delhi Police Commissioner Amulya Patnaik demanding strict action.
Jarnail Singh in his tweet explained that the driver was flagged down by a traffic constable, but he jumped the barricade after which policeman jumped on the car’s bonnet to bring the car to halt.
समय :आज शाम 5.35
स्थान : नारायणा पुल
पुलिस चैकिंग के दौरान गाड़ी रोकने पर सामने खड़े पुलिस वाले पर गाड़ी चढ़ा भागने की कोशिश
जान की परवाह न कर पुलिसवाला बोनट पर लटका रहा
जिम्मेवारी समझ मैंने पीछा किया व रोका
आप बताएं क्या कार्रवाई होनी चाहिए@dtptraffic @CPDelhi @ArvindKejriwal pic.twitter.com/IJAyzQUTl5— Jarnail Singh (@JarnailSinghAAP) July 10, 2018
The video shared on social media starts where traffic cop is seen clinging to the hood of the car with his e-challan machine. Singh is heard rebuking the driver and asks cops to take away his car keys.
The woman who was in the car with the driver is heard threatening cops with legal action.
The woman in the video tries to snatch away the phone used to record video says, “Excuse me! What are you doing? I will sue you.”
Even the driver was fined, Singh demanded stricter action against the man. To justify his demand of strict action, Singh said the cop risked his life to perform his duty and thus deserves strict punishment.
Singh told media, “Earlier, police had assured of a proper inquiry but when I called to follow up on the incident I was informed that the driver was allowed to go following a challan after they got a call from a senior official.”
