Days after Delhi Police registered a ‘Zero FIR’ against an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer from Jharkhand, based on a complaint by a Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) Member of Parliament, the State police said it was yet to receive a physical copy of the FIR and yet to re-register the case in its police station.
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey on September 3 filed a complaint against Deoghar Deputy Commissioner Manjunath Bhajantri and others. The MP alleged that there was a conspiracy to kill him at the Deoghar airport and he was obstructed from performing his duties as a member of a committee constituted by the Union government’s Ministry of Civil Aviation.
The Zero FIR was registered by Delhi Police a day after the Deogarh police booked nine persons, including Mr. Dubey and BJP MP Manoj Tiwari, for allegedly forcibly entering the Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower to obtain take-off clearance for their chartered plane as flight operations are not permitted in the evening at Deogarh airport. Deogarh police had said that the two sons of Mr. Dubey also forced their way to the ATC, a restricted zone. Mr. Dubey and Mr. Bhajantri also had a spat on Twitter on the issue.
