Police journal carries apology for cop's controversial poem

January 23, 2013 01:23

The latest edition of Mumbai police's in house journal 'Samwad' which came out on Tuesday, carried an unconditional apology by female police inspector Sujata Patil, whose poem had sparked off a controversy.

Traffic police inspector (Matunga division) Sujata Patil's controversial poem in an earlier issue of the in-house police journal, had described last year's Azad Maidan protesters as "snakes" and "traitors", whose hands should have been "chopped off".

Patil had already apologised in writing, but on Tuesday it was published in the latest edition of 'Samwad', police sources said. She did not intend to hurt anybody's religious sentiments or any religion through her poem, she wrote in the journal.

Joint Police Commissioner (Administration) Hemant Nagrale who is also Samwad's editor and publisher, has stated in writing that Patil had already apologised and she did not intend to hurt anybody's sentiments.
