UP cop suspended for allegedly misbehaving with BJP worker during vehicle checking
Aligarh: A police constable has been suspended for allegedly misbehaving with a BJP worker during checking of vehicles in Uttar Pradesh's Aligarh district, officials said on Sunday.
The policeman, deployed at the Masoodabad crossing for vehicle checking, had on Saturday asked for documents from Tanishk Mittal, a booth committee president in the city BJP committee, they said.
According to Circle Officer Raghvender Singh, Mittal was found not found in possession of valid documents of the vehicle during checking.
An argument broke out between Mittal and the policeman after which the BJP worker was taken to the Banna Devi police station, where a large crowd gathered and caused a rumpus.
Senior Superintendent of Police Muniraj G said on on Sunday that the police constable has been suspended and an enquiry ordered against an inspector on the charges of allegedly misbehaving with a youth during checking of vehicles.
City BJP MLA Sanjeev Raja, who came in support of Mittal, said the party worker explained to the policemen that he had forgotten to carry documents and would get them from his house, but they started "misbehaving" with him.
They are empowered to check traffic law violations, but this does not give them the right to harass responsible citizens and the common public, Raja said.
"If the SSP cannot discipline his force, our party knows how to tackle such errant policemen," the MLA had told reporters on Saturday.

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
