Haryana minister leaves programme after heated exchange of words with woman police officer
The incident took place during a meeting of the District Grievances and Public Relations Committee where the minister questioned Superintendent of Police (Fatehabad District) Sangeeta Kalia over steps taken by the police to check the illegal sale points of liquor which had come up in villages in the district.
Even though the officer replied that as many as 2,500 cases had been registered under the Excise Act in the last 10 months, the minister said he was not satisfied and that the the police wasn't doing enough.
The minister accused the police of being in league with the liquor mafia. At this, Kalia replied that it was the government which issues license for the sale of alcohol.
Enraged, Vij asked Kalia to leave the meeting room, but the officer refused to do so. Immediately, the minister himself walked out of the meeting. All BJP workers and committee members followed suit.
