Cop bows down, apologises to UP minister after hitting his car
Kanpur (UP), Oct 22: An Uttar Pradesh policeman Monday bowed down and apologised to state cabinet minister Satish Mohana after hitting his car only to be shooed away by the vexed minister.
The policeman was driving one of the cars in Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's convoy when the accident occurred near Moti Jheel in Kanpur.
The CM was in the city to address the state working committee of Bharatiya Janta Yuva Morcha (BJYM)-- the youth wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
As the minister got out of his car, the policeman apologised and bent down to touch his feet but an angry Mohana took a few steps back and rebuked him publicly. Gesturing with his hand, he then asked the policeman to leave.
