A nephew of UP legislative council chairman and SP leader Ramesh Yadav on Wednesday slapped a sub-inspector in a police station in Etah after he was held for allegedly assaulting hospital staffers who refused to give in to his demand for “VIP treatment”.
Bragging of his political links, Mohit Yadav, who was said to be in an inebriated state, was also caught on camera hurling abuses at the cops, prompting rival BJP to accuse the Samajwadi Party of suffering from “hangover” of power.
“Mohit Yadav is my name...,” said the 24-year-old, before slapping sub-inspector Jitendra Kumar in Etah. He was immediately arrested and charged with assault and obstructing an official from carrying out his duty.
Three separate FIRs have been registered against Mohit Yadav, Etah senior superintendent of police (SSP) Sathyarth Aniruddha said, adding that they will ensure the accused gets stringent punishment.
