BJP activists protest before Bistupur PS

Jamshedpur, Jan. 18: BJP activists on Monday protested before the Bistupur police station against the procedures followed for arresting a party worker named Maruti Nandan Pandey.

According to a party worker, in December last, BJP Bistupur mandal worker Marutri Nandan Pandey had a fight with his neighbour Sonu Sharma during which Sharma�s nose bone fractured and was being treated at MGM Hospital for which Pandey bore all the expenses. After Sonu Sharma recovered, he filed a case against Pandey naming him as the culprit. Later, the Bistupur police conducted raids to arrest the BJP worker, he added.

Another protestor said instead to taking one-sided action, the police ought to talk to both the parties and conduct a transparent investigation into the matter. Meanwhile, Jitendra Kumar, Bistupur Police in-charge, said police is doing its work transparently and would take action against the culprit.
