Security guards of SP leader’s kin thrash chemist

New Delhi: Samajwadi Party (SP) is again in the news for wrong reasons. At a time when a spurt in incidents of crime and violence is marring the rule of Akhilesh Yadav in Uttar Pradesh, another instance of hooliganism of the party has come to light in the national capital. A chemist was beaten up mercilessly by the security officers of a senior SP leader’s daughter-in-law just because he had run out of medical supplies.
Ashok, the owner of a chemist shop in South Delhi, in a complaint lodged with the police has said that he was abused and threatened by Richa Yadav, who is reported to be the daughter-in-law of a senior SP leader, after he refused to give medicine she was looking for.
Narrating the details, Ashok said that on September 17 a man arrived at his shop in Yusuf Sarai area and demanded a cough syrup. He told the customer that the syrup he is looking for is unavailable but he has its substitute, following which, he said, the customer called up someone to confirm whether he should buy the alternative medicine or not. After the conversation, the man made the chemist talk to the woman, who not only abused him but even threatened him with dire consequences.
Later, on her direction, “Four men including police guards of the leader barged into the shop and beat me mercilessly,” said the chemist.
According to sources, after being informed by the passers-by, police reached the spot but by then the miscreants had already left the spot. The police also checked the CCTV cameras installed in the shop which recorded the sequences of the whole event. However, the complaint has rued out that inspite of the complaint being lodged nine days ago, no progress has been made in the case so far. The chemist has alleged that the police officials are hesitating to take any action as the accused is the daughter-in-law of a powerful politician.
