Reports inform that the judge scolded him for not allowing passage to his car and, as punishment, asked the cop to take off his uniform. However, after repeated apologies, Ghurelal was allowed to put on his uniform. The HT report states that the transfer of the judge was ordered after the Agra SSP forwarded a report on the incident to the state DGP and senior judicial officers at the Allahabad HC.
The reports states that senior superintendent of police, Agra, Babloo Kumar took up the matter on Friday. Kumar informed that Ghurelal was driving a ‘Vajra’, a police vehicle, and was taking an accused in custody to be presented before a court. As the road on the outskirts was narrow and the driver was aged, he could not respond to the horn from the judge’s car. The constable, having a good track record, was much disturbed after the incident and wanted voluntary retirement but was consoled.
