PANCHKULA: Videos of state vigilance bureau DIG Hemant Kalson entangled in a squabble with a group of Pinjore residents went viral on the social media on Tuesday. In the videos, the DIG can be seen sitting in his car and a large number of people gathered outside and arguing with him over some
road rage incident.
The video shows DIG Kalson’s car stopped and surrounded by the general public on the road in Pinjore. The official is bleeding from his mouth and angry crowd can be heard abusing him and asking for justice, while he can be seen apologizing.
In the video, Kalson’s efforts of trying to calm people down and introducing himself with his name and rank also seem futile. The two cops, apparently called on the spot by the general public, can be seen trying to resolve the issue. Efforts of couple of people there to allow the DIG to drive away also came to naught.
The person making the video shows the Swift Dzire car carrying registration number HR 03 W 0666, along with another blue-colored plate with a star on it right both at the front and the rear of the vehicle. A red sticker reading ‘POLICE’ can also be seen on the rear windshield of the car.
When contacted, Pinjore police station SHO inspector Virender Singh said, “The incident is 10-15 days old. The DIG was stopped over some road rage issue and the public gathered on the spot. The case was later on settled on the spot as per the eyewitnesses. No complaint came to us against the DIG otherwise we could have followed it up as per the law.”
DIG Hemant Kalson could not be contacted on his mobile or office phone number despite repeated attempts.
