Ranchi Mayor Stops Jharkhand Chief Minister's Convoy, Complains Of 'Abusive' Police

Raghubar Das' convoy was stopped by Ranchi Mayor to seek justice for "abusive language" by traffic cop.

Ranchi: Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das' convoy was today stopped by Ranchi Mayor Asha Lakra to seek justice for the "abusive language" used by a traffic police.

The mayor was on her way to attend a local programme when her vehicle was allegedly stopped near Ratu roundabout.

The traffic police used some "abusive" language after which Ms Lakra stopped the Chief Minister's convoy passing on the same route to complain about the behaviour and sought justice.

The Chief Minister assured Ms Lakra that action against the concerned police person would be taken.

The "insensitive face" of the Jharkhand Police was, however, not new.

A few months ago, Urban Development Minister CP Singh had to intervene when the traffic police allegedly used abusive language against a person who works at Singh's residence.

"Ranchi police use intolerable words in the name of vehicle and helmet checking. The police have failed to improve the traffic condition here," said Shilpi, a resident of Anantpur, Ranchi.

"They are yet to arrest the culprits who gangraped an engineering student and later burnt her on December 16. Common people are their easy target," Shilpi added.
