Obscene remarks: High drama at Ludhiana police station against inaction by cops

High-voltage drama was witnessed at the Shimlapuri police station against police inaction in a case of making abusive and obscene remarks against the Chhath festival by a businessman. He also allegedly used provocative language over the phone against the Purvanchal community and phone recording of the same also went viral.

An FIR was already registered against the suspect, Rajinder Kumar Thukral of Shimlapuri, in the matter on November 10 but the failure to arrest him led to a protest.

During the protest, a large number of people from the Purvanchal community gathered at the spot. They staged a protest and raised slogans, demanding the immediate arrest of the man. Community members said when the case was registered on November 10, why the suspect was not arrested so far.

They said in such a serious matter, immediate action should have been taken.

On the other hand, SHO inspector Jatinder assured the community that a team was working to apprehend the trader. He said earlier, when the police went to catch the suspect, he was not found at the spot but an arrest would be made soon.
