THE

COMMISSIONER

OF

POLICE, DELHI.

No. 310/PRO/PHQ dated Delhi, the 21/07/ 2015.


To
The Editor,
Indian Express
New Delhi.
Subject: - Rejoinder to the news-item captioned Boiling oil from
pan thrown by cops burns kids
Sir,
This is with reference to the news item appeared in your
esteemed newspaper today.
On the occassion of Eid, several unauthorized street vendors
were blocking the 25 Foota Road in the Old Mustafabad area, thereby
obstructing normal flow of traffic and public. The police staff on duty
instructed them to clear the road and footpath and during this process,
one vendors pan fell down spilling hot oil due to which one Constable
received burn injuries besides two children standing nearby.
All three were rushed to the hospital where they were
discharged after primary treatement. During the enquiry, statements of
many independent witnesses namely Naeem, Shakil, Hanif etc were taken
who have not supported the allegations of bribe. Hence the allegations of
demand of bribe are unfounded and baseless, therefore, denied. They
seem to be motivated, malacious and with intent to lower the esteem and
moral of police.
In the light of above, it is requested that this rejoinder may be
published in order to put the matter in proper perspective with the equal
prominence for your esteemed readers.

Yours faithfully,
(RAJAN BHAGAT)
PUBLIC RELATION OFFICER
DELHI POLICE
DELHI.
