VHP demands investigation

NEW DELHI: Alleging that “some officers” of the Delhi Police are trying to implicate “innocent Hindus” in the Jahangirpuri violence case and also misleading the court, the VHP urged city Police Commissioner Rakesh Asthana on Monday to order a probe to identify such officers and take action against them.

It claimed that the organisers of a Hanuman Jayanti procession that was taken out in northwest Delhi’s Jahangirpuri recently had given prior intimation about their programme to the local police stations but after clashes took place, police took an about turn and said no permission was given to the event.

The police commissioner must order a probe to identify the officers who are adamant on tarnishing his image and that of the Delhi Police, VHP national spokesperson Vinod Bansal said.
