    Suspension is wrong. The Constable was doing his duty. The minister is not above the law. He should have cooperated with the cop and appreciated his diligence. Think about voting for such a arrogant candidate. Cops, do your duty diligently, come what may.

    Arrogance at it's best. Police constable was discharging his duty & look at our systems, he is suspended rather than being appreciated for doing his duty.
    Ministers should agree that they are elected " By the people, for the people and to the people " and not to show arrogance and high handedness with police officials who are doing duty.
    List of vehicles with registration numbers which had a pass to enter DC Office should have been given to police on duty, so they are aware of car numbers.!!
    Law makers are supposed to be holding laws & not breaking laws and also not supposed to be de-moralizing law protectors.
    This VIP Culture has to go off our Indian Systems, then our Arrogant Politicians will learn to live like us.

    This minister has a history of such arrogance.

    During Siddaganga Mutt's Dr Shivakumar Swamiji's funeral also he arrogantly scolded lady police officer for not allowing him to a restricted area.

    Now he has shown his power to a poor constable. He has to have some patience. If he had a special permission he could have shown it and then the cop would have allowed.

    These ministers think they are kings and not servants of people. They have been elected, paid for everything from taxpayer's money to do service to the people and not behave like kings.

    Constable is right as there was section 144 in that area and he has rightfully stopped Minister Car. But, the Minister had special permission for his car, it should have been informed by the Minister's PA to the police constable. Suspending is not at all right. Are our politicians super human being.
