The Jharkhand Police Association has intensified its stance after a JKLM MLA was accused of verbally abusing a police officer, demanding a public apology.
The Jharkhand Police Association announced a tougher position following an incident in which a member of the JKLM party, serving as a Member of the Legislative Assembly, allegedly used abusive language against a police officer. The association said the alleged conduct undermines the respect due to law‑enforcement personnel and could set a harmful precedent if left unchecked.
According to reports, the confrontation occurred during a routine interaction between the officer and the MLA, after which the officer lodged a formal complaint. While details of the exact words exchanged have not been released, the police body described the behavior as a breach of protocol and decorum expected from elected representatives.
In response, the Jharkhand Police Association has formally demanded that the MLA issue a public apology. The association indicated that it may consider further action, including filing a grievance with the state legislative assembly, should the apology not be forthcoming.
