Misbehavior with Jamshedpur Gurudwara head, road blocked for two hours

Jamshedpur, Oct 25: Members of Sikh community on Monday blocked Mango Main road to Dimna Chowk in protest against alleged misbehaviour with Mango gurudwara president Bhagwan Singh at Olidih police station.
Traffic on Dimna road in Mango remained disrupted for over two hours as people set up a blockade near Olidih police station this afternoon.

Led by Jharkhand Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee president Shailendra Singh, the protesters were demanding action against an assistant sub-inspector (ASI) and an apology from him. The protesters raised slogans and refused to lift the blockade. 

The protesters lifted the blockade only after the ASI, Pradeep Kumar apologised and the senior SP, M Tamil Vanan had assured them over the phone to take necessary action against the police official in question after a probe.

The trouble started after a police team from the Olidih police station took, Kulvinder Singh on Sunday night while trying to nab a loot case accused by raiding a house on Road No 5 in Sankhosai. Kulvinder (45) is a resident of Ghatsila and brother-in-law of the accused who was absconding.

After the news regarding Kulvinder being detained, the head of the Mango Gurudwara, Bhagwaan Singh reached the Olidih thana accompanied by his supporters. At the police station, the ASI Pradeep Kumar who had picked up Kulvinder had heated talk with Bhagwaan Singh. Then only those accompanied Bhagwaan Singh reacted sharply and resorted to staging a blockade in front of police station on Dimna road.

Kulvinder Singh had visited his in-laws house at Sankosai on Sunday and had been picked up by the police.

Shailendra Singh said that the attitude of police is wrong what is the point of picking up a guest instead of the accused person.

OC, Olidih, Meghnath Mandal said the vehicular communication on the Dimna road has been resumed after the blockade was lifted. He pointed out that a senior officer will look into whether the ASI was at fault.
