DEHRADUN: Taking cognisance of the allegations of locals being subjected to police harassment in Chamoli, Uttarakhand chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has ordered a probe into incident by Garhwal commissioner Sushil Kumar. In a tweet, Dhami said that Kumar would present his probe report to the state government.
The development comes a day after a video purportedly showing police and CISF staff stopping a group of three women and a man carrying grass near Helang village of Chamoli district went viral. While the women have accused cops of harassing them, police have maintained that only a small portion of the video is being circulated to malign. Cops have further said that the women were encroaching upon government land.
