Post against PM Modi and UP CM: Suspended SI booked in Etawah

KANPUR: A suspended sub-inspector of police, Vijay Pratap, was booked for posting derogatory remarks against the Prime Minister and UP chief minister on social media.
According to police, the SI had also made a derogatory remark against a particular religion.
A case has been registered following a couple of complaints by district BJP President Ajay Pratap Dhakre and president Akhil Bhartiya Brahmin Sabha Shailendra Chowdhary at Kotwali police station, under various sections of IPC, besides IT Act, circle officer (City) Vaibhav Pandey said.
To recall, SI Vijay Pratap had come to lime light for embarking on a 65-km run to protest his transfer to Bitholi police station in November 2019.
He had then also posted a tweet stating, “I am being transferred due to the dictatorial attitude of RI (reserve inspector of police). I was asked by the SSP to stay back at reserve police lines but I am being forcibly transferred to Bitholi by the RI. You can call it my anger or unhappiness but I’ll run & go to Bitholi.”
SP (City), Etawah, Ram Yash Singh had then said: “The sub-inspector was transferred from reserve police lines to Bitholi. Instead of accepting the transfer order like any disciplined officer, he posted a message on social media.”
