JAIPUR: A 31-year-old advocate was allegedly manhandled by an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) in Mansarover in an inebriated condition on Wednesday night.

Advocate Rohan Shaktawat said that he had gone to Vande Matram Marg under the Muhana police station area with two other advocate friends when at about 9.30 PM, ACP Mansarover arrived in his official vehicle. “ACP Sanjeev Choudhary was drunk and demanded my car keys. He then hurled invectives and then manhandled me,” Shaktawat alleged.

Shaktawat said he also gave a complaint to the Muhana police station in the night, and subsequently also informed DGP, ML Lather about the entire incident.

Talking to TOI, Lather said that the ACP was put under APO (Awaiting Posting Order). “An inquiry is underway in the case, we will examine it properly,” he said.
