Just in: A Lucknow court today ordered filing of FIR against Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav for allegedly threatening Indian Police Service officer Amitabh Thakur.
The court observed that Amitabh Thakur has primary facie evidence showing Mulayam threatening the former bureaucrat.
On July 10, Mulayam allegedly contacted Thakur on his residential number and threatened him of undesirable consequences if the former IPS did not mend his ways. According to Thakurs wife Nutan, Mulayam was referring to an incident back in 2006, when Thakur was serving as Firozabad SP and was cornered by then Samajwadi Party MLA Ramveer and few of his party goons.
The Uttar Pradesh government had suspended Thakur on July 13, 2015, and slapped with a 16 point charge-sheet, where the first charge is of filing PILs. In his reply to the UP government, he had said the Supreme Court has made it clear in case of UP cadre IAS officer Vijay Shanker Pandey that filing PILs by citizen, including government servants, is a constitutional right.
Thakurs complaint against Mulayam was rejected by Hazratganj police station, allegedly under pressure from the ruling SP government. A week later, on July 23, his wife Nutan Thakurs complaint was also refused to be registered by Lucknow SSP Rajesh Pandey.
