A police sub-inspector posted in Uttarakhand’s Mussoorie was transferred days after he fined an MLA for allegedly violating COVID-19 guidelines, fuelling allegations that he was penalised for acting against a sitting legislator.
The MLA was stopped for not wearing a mask properly and roaming around with his family despite the lockdown enforced in Mussoorie.
Last Sunday, a video clip surfaced on social media in which Roorkee MLA Pradeep Batra was seen throwing money at a police-station inspector who had fined him and walking away.
The sub-inspector, Neerak Kathait , was on Thursday transferred to kalsi , around 40 km from Dehradun, Mussoorie Circle Officer Narendra Pant said.
