This local politico presiding over the affairs of a township on the outskirts of the city is better known for his brawn than his brains. His younger sibling of the same calibre got involved in a clash recently and was arrested. Several politicos who were beholden to this worthy for his support at the recent general poll rushed to his rescue.
A Green party stalwart holding a key portfolio was among those who swung into action to get the ‘chandi-malli’ released from Police custody.
The OIC, a straightforward man who could not be cowed by political influence refused to release the man. The Green party Ministerial one threatened and tongue-lashed him, but the officer stood his ground unafraid, they say.
Later the ‘chandi-malli’ was produced before courts and was remanded.
The inquisitive ones now are eagerly waiting for the next move by the Ministerial one, who, they say, may not easily forget the slight he had to suffer.
