JAMMU, July 25: Seeking immediate registration of FIR against SSP Udhampur Rayees Bhat besides his suspension for hurling threats, using derogatory parlance upon JKNPP Chairman Harsh Dev Singh and assaulting the women activists inside the office of DC Udhampur, a number of Mahila Panthers, led by Manju Singh, general secretary JKNPP, staged a protest demonstration outside the Governor’s House in Jammu today.
Talking to media persons on the occasion, Manju Singh drew the attention of Governor towards the misdemeanour of the erring SSP Udhampur who had blatantly mishandled the party leaders and the female activists in particular during a deputation meet inside the chamber of DC Udhampur recently.
“We had gone to submit memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner. While Harsh Dev Singh was conversing with the DC on the concerned issues, the SSP who was already present in the chamber, started intervening and disrupting the talk for no reason. When Mr Singh objected to his behaviour, he engaged with him in a verbal duel without any justification and subsequently started shouting using filthy language and pounced upon him with an intention to cause hurt,” she said.
Manju Singh, who was accompanying Harsh Dev Singh and others at that time, further alleged that the SSP not only manhandled the party leaders but also ordered his subordinate staff to physically throw the women activists outside the office.
“It seemed that under a well hatched conspiracy and pre meditated move, the arrogant officer was in a mood to arm twist and browbeat the Panther leaders to please his political bosses. The frustration of the SSP indicated that he wanted to wreck his vengeance against the party leaders who time and again blew whistles against his misdeeds and wrongdoings,” she added.
The protesting Mahila Panthers urged upon the Governor and the DGP to take cognizance of the complaint lodged against the SSP and order registration of an FIR against the said officer under section 166, 167,351, 352, 503, 504, 506,509 besides other provisions of RPC for assaulting the women activists.
Others, who spoke on the occasion, included Neelam Abrol, Meena Thakur, Madhu Bala, Sunita, Jyoti Chandel, Jyoti Thakur, Neelam, Anu, Neeraj Bala, Seema Verma and Sushma.
