NC MLA booked for misbehaving with Govt official 3/16/2015 10:00:07 PM Early Times Report Srinagar/Jammu, Mar 16: Police has registered a case against opposition National Conference MLA from Pahalgam Altaf Ahmad Wani for allegedly misbehaving with a senior government officer last week. Wani was booked by police last Friday for allegedly misbehaving with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Pahalgam Development Authority (PDA) Mohammad Yousuf Bhat, police sources said. Several supporters of the MLA have also been booked for ransacking the government office and manhandling the staff, the sources said. The MLA and his supporters have been booked under sections 147, 427, 353 and 506 RPC. Bhat, who had alleged that Wani misbehaved with him in his office, filed a complaint against the legislator with the District Development Commissioner and SSP of the district. "He abused me, hurled a table lamp at me and his supporters went a step further by manhandling my staff. They also damaged property in my office," Bhat said. The officer said everything was recorded on the CCTV cameras installed in his office. The MLA has termed the allegations against him as false. "False and frivolous charges have been levelled against me. More than a dozen eyewitnesses including some government officials can vouch for my innocence," he said. Meanwhile in Jammu today, state Education Minister Naeem Akhtar told reporters at a function, "Obviously, about this particular incident (NC MLA)... The officer has lodged an FIR and law will take its own course." He was replying to a question posed by journalists about the alleged incident and what action the government contemplates to take. Minister further said "That is why we held a sensitization course for the legislators for educating over legislative business. There are forty two legislators, who are coming to Legislature for the first time. We are holding a training camp for them today". While reacting to the incident, former minister and senior NC leader Abdul Rahim Rather, said "I have no knowledge about it. We have to discuss the issue and see what circumstance led to the incident. But physical forces should have not been applied".   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
