A former Congress leader from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi district has accused the Shimla Police of trying to abduct him on the directions of 'some top people in the state government' after he was stopped for 'traffic rule violations'.
The incident took place near the Congress headquarters here, when the police personnel stopped the vehicle of Yudhveer Singh Bains for checking.
Bains is being provided X-category CRPF security by the Centre after he alleged a threat to his life from people against whom he has filed a complaint before the Enforcement Directorate.
Reacting to the incident, Gaurav Singh, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Shimla, said the police team stopped Bains' vehicle as it was equipped with an unauthorised horn, search lights and a flag rod, which were in clear violation of the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Act.
Bains accused the police of chasing him and stopping him from time to time, even following his vehicle till the Haryana border.
