Will they be fired? This is a dictatorship in which policemen are wreaking havoc on innocent people. @Uppolice thrashed a disabled person in Deoria for asking for water.” he tweeted.
उक्त दोनों पीआरडी के कर्मी हैं, जिन्हे ड्यूटी से हटाते हुए इनके विरुद्ध प्राप्त प्रार्थना पत्र के आधार पर थाना रुद्रपुर में अभियोग पंजीकृत किया जा रहा है।
