Showdown at Grievance Meeting: Anil Vij vs. Kaithal SP

A heated encounter occurred between Haryana Minister Anil Vij and Kaithal SP Upasna during a district grievance meeting. Vij demanded the suspension of an ASI linked to a land case, but Upasna stated she lacked jurisdiction. Despite tensions, the SP was instructed to report to the DGP.

In a dramatic scene that unfolded at the district grievance redressal committee meeting in Kaithal, Haryana Minister Anil Vij clashed with Kaithal SP Upasna over the suspension of an assistant sub-inspector (ASI) involved in a land-related investigation.

The incident unfolded on Friday when Vij, presiding over the meeting, demanded the suspension of the ASI based on allegations made by a resident. Upasna, however, stated that jurisdictional limits prevented her from carrying out the order, as the ASI was from a neighboring district.

Unfazed by the SP's clarification, Vij insisted that she write to the DGP to implement the suspension, asserting his directive's statewide applicability. The tensions highlighted recurring struggles between political directives and administrative protocols.
