News of abuse of power is quite common in India. However, in times of pandemic, our safety remains in our own hands. Still, some leaders think that they can abuse their powers and remain immune to the novel coronavirus. A similar kind of incident has gone viral. A BJP leader and his nephew were arrested after they beat up three police personnel, including a sub-inspector, in Sunderpur area in Varanasi on Friday night.
The brawl took place when the leader’s son was asked about his missing face mask. Senior Superintendent of Police Prabhakar Chaudhary confirmed the arrest of BJP leader Surendra Patel and one more person. “Two persons who attacked and misbehaved with police personnel have been arrested. Raids are being conducted to ensure the arrest of five others who were involved in the incident. Strict action would be ensured against them,” SSP said.
Narrating about the incident, Prabhakar said two persons, which also included BJP leader’s son Vikas Patel, were also found sitting at the spot.
Upon being asked about his missing mask, Vikas allegedly used indecent language against the cops. He also called up his uncle Surendra Patel, Zila panchayat member and cousin Virendra. Police said that Surendra, along with over half a dozen people, reached the spot and beat up the police personnel.
