GURDASPUR/AMRITSAR: In another shameful incident denting further the image of Shiromani Akali Dal which is still reeling from criticism over Wednesday's murder of an Assistant Sub Inspector in Amritsar by its leader, a kin of party'sYouth Wing today bashed up a traffic policeman in Gurdaspur.

The accused has been identified as Inderpal Singh, Akali leader Paramjit Singh Laddi’s nephew. The incident took place in full public view following an argument between the head constable Gurnam Singh and the traffic cop. 

Laadi's nephew allegedly tore the uniform of the policeman on duty. The accused has been booked on the charges of obstructing a public servant from discharging his duty under sections 186 and 332 (for voluntarily causing injury to public servant to obstruct him from discharging his duty).

The incident came close on the heels of the high-headedness and blatant abuse of power when an ASI in Amritsar was shot dead by an Akali leader in broad day light and in full public view.

On December 5, ASI Ravinderpal Singh, who had protested against the eve-teasing of his daughter by the general secretary of Amritsar urban unit of SAD Ranjjit Singh Rana and his associates, was gunned down in broad day light. The incident led to a huge public outcry in the country, denting the image of the ruling party in the state which was accused of recruiting youth with shady credentials into the party and promoting him into the top official slot in the organisation for rendering 'services' to the party.
