HC admits Chautala plea, seeks Hisar SP’s affidavit

Hisar: The Punjab and Haryana high court has admitted Haryana former deputy chief minister Dushyant Chautala's petition in connection with the April 17 alleged confrontation by Haryana cops and directed the Hisar SP to file an affidavit.Addressing the media in Hisar on Friday, Chautala alleged a "larger conspiracy" behind the incident. Chautala, a Y-Plus category protectee, had alleged that a vehicle with tinted windows and a police light blocked his convoy near the Auto Market in Hisar, and a police officer allegedly brandished a pistol and issued a verbal threat to his personal security officer. He appealed to public to share photographs of police vehicles with black films or without number plates, saying he would take up such instances. Chautala said the next hearing in the case is on April 30. Chautala alleged his supporters were picked up by members of crime investigation agency (CIA) in plain clothes during late-night action following protests at Guru Jambeshwar University. Referring to the Haryana uniform code, Chautala said CIA personnel are not permitted to operate in plain clothes and demanded that the DGP clarify under what authority teams carried out raids in civil dress late at night.
