BJP councillor arrested for criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty

Meerut; A BJP councillor named Munish Kumar from Meerut has been arrested for assaulting a Sub-Inspector after a video showing him thrashing and abusing a Sub-Inspector went viral.

According to The Indian Express, “The sub-inspector, who was accompanied by a lady lawyer, got into an argument with a waiter which later turned violent as Kumar intervened. The councillor could be heard accusing the cop of being drunk and also hurled abuses at him, to which the lady lawyer retaliated similarly.”

“Munish Kumar has been arrested under non-bailable offences and he will be produced before a court today. His supporters came here to protest, we showed them evidence. They were convinced and went back. The Sub-Inspector shouldn’t have been there in the first place. Probe on,” Meerut SP R Singh was quoted as saying.
