An Assistant Sub Inspector of J&K Traffic Police was placed under suspension on Tuesday for alleged misbehaviour with a lawyer in Jammu city.

The alleged incident had led to a road blockade as lawyers demonstrated against the conduct of the traffic policeman, prompting swift action from the authorities. The suspended officer has been identified as ASI Kamal Kumar.

According to the lawyers, the officer allegedly misbehaved with one of their colleagues. The Bar Association alleged that ASI Kamal Kumar was a habitual offender who frequently misuses his authority and misbehaved with the public.

Responding to the protest, SSP, Traffic, Jammu, suspended the officer pending further probe into the matter.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
