Muzaffarnagar: Farmers hoist Bharatiya Kisan Union flag on police station, station house officer shunted

Description

MUZAFFARNAGAR: The station house officer (SHO) of a police station in Muzaffarnagar was on Friday shifted and attached to police lines a day after a group of farmers hoisted the flag of Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) on the premises. The action was taken after some pictures in which BKU activists were seen installing the flag on the roof of the Bhora Kalan police station during a protest went viral on social media. Senior superintendent of police (SSP) Abhishek Yadav ordered the police to take action against the people who put up the flag at the police station and shunted out the SHO. SSP said, “SHO of the Bhora Kalan police station has been attached in the police line. He failed to take action against people who had installed the flag. Further investigation is being conducted by police.” After a clash between farmers and BJP supporters at the Delhi-Gazipur border, BKU had called a protest at police stations across UP.
