Chandna said, as reported by ANI, “Were you extorting money from people while sitting at the toll? I will get your removed from the police and get you a job at the toll.” Adding on, he said, “If I get to know that you take 100-100 rupees from the poor, your job will be in danger. Consider this as my last warning to you.”
