UP Minister Stages Protest at Police Station Over Alleged False Case
Imagine a government official, like a minister, protesting at a police station because she thought the police were treating her friends unfairly.
The minister, Pratibha Shukla, believed the police falsely accused her friends, who are members of her political party, of a serious crime.
She sat at the police station for hours, refusing to leave until the police promised to look into the matter and make changes.
Her husband, a former politician, was also upset and blamed another politician.
This situation shows a disagreement within the government and the police, which caused a lot of attention.
UP Minister Pratibha Shukla protested at a police station in Kanpur Dehat.
Shukla demanded suspension of the station in-charge for allegedly filing a fake SC/ST case against her aides.
The protest followed a dispute over a road construction project.
Shukla's husband, a former MP, criticized local BJP MP Devendra Singh Bhole.
The protest ended after written assurance of action and FIR review was received.
