UP: A police official was removed from his post and sent to police lines on Thursday after a video in which he is allegedly seen making objectionable comments against Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath surfaced, according to officials.
Station House Officer of Asandra police station Dhyanendra Pratap Singh allegedly made the comments against the chief minister Yogi Adityanath while talking to someone in his office.
A journalist forwarded a video of this conversation to BJP district president Shashank Kushumesh, who in turn, registered a complaint against the official with the Superintendent of Police Anurag Vats a couple of days ago.
Mr. Kushumesh alleged that the SHO was trying to create a revolt against the government by making such comments in public.
An inquiry in the matter is underway, stated a police official.
Earlier in January this year a police sub-inspector, G Sekar attached to the Flower Bazaar police station in Chennai, was suspended for his alleged political comment on a social media post.
