Kanpur: What began as a visit to a police station to secure the release of a detained employee allegedly turned into an embarrassing ordeal, with a BJP functionary claiming he was forced to perform a ‘naagin dance’ for nearly 10 minutes after a demand for 20 sacks of cement.
The SP said a probe has been ordered and action would be taken based on findings.
On Monday evening, Mishra went to Rampura police station to seek his release, where the inspector allegedly misbehaved with him and demanded 20 sacks of cement during their conversation. Mishra also alleged that BJP mandal president Santosh Prajapati was called to the police station around 8 pm the same day and threatened with similar treatment. The inspector allegedly lost his temper, took him into a room, shut the door and ordered him to perform a ‘naagin dance’.
Police had detained one of his employees two days earlier for allegedly creating a disturbance while drunk, according to Mishra. Mishra said he told the inspector that he ran a tent house business and had cooperated with police in the past, but could not fulfil the demand. BJP leaders said the MLA telephoned the SP and demanded action.
Mishra and his associates then informed area MLA Mulchandra Niranjan.
