Ayodhya: Samajwadi Party on Sunday demanded the removal of three police station house officers in the bypoll-bound Milkipur assembly constituency.
SP state president Shyam Lal Paal has sent a letter to the Uttar Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer for the removal of the SHOs of Kumarganj, Inayatnagar, and Khandasa police stations in Milkipur. The party has accused the three policemen of harassing the SP supporters by lodging fake cases against them.
SP’s Ayodhya MP Awadhesh Prasad said police on Saturday lodged complaints against more than a dozen of his party’s office bearers, including its district general secretary Bakhtiyar Khan and district secretary Ram Tej Yadav.
He also alleged that the police had been detaining party workers for whole day and releasing them late at night.
