Kanpur: Jalaun SP Vinay Kumar Singh on Tuesday line attached Rampura police station SHO Shiv Prakash Singh and ordered a departmental inquiry after allegations that he demanded 20 bags of cement from a BJP functionary and forced him to perform a “Naagin dance”.
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 claimed he danced for about 10 minutes under pressure and out of fear. 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.
