Delhi cop files complaint against CM Kejriwal over thulla remark

July 20, 2015 08:16

The strained relationship between the Delhi Police and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal witnessed an interesting twist on Sunday when a constable filed a complaint against the CM for referring cops as "thullas".

Constable Ajay filed a written complaint against Kejriwal in south Delhi's Lajpat Nagar police station for using derogatory language against policemen.

Kejriwal, during an interview with India Today, said, "These people want that even if a thulla (cop) is caught demanding money from the street vendors, we can't try him." Thulla is a slang mostly used in and around the national capital.

Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi had reacted strongly to Kerjiwal's remark.

"I refuse to believe the chief minister could have used such a word, but if he has, it is very unfortunate and derogatory," Bassi had said.
