then Union Minister BC Khanduri was travelling with family – ड्राइवर को कहा हम किसी खंडूरी- वंडूरी को नहीं जानते..
Old memories: When the car of the then Union Minister B. C. Khanduri was stopped by Haryana Police in Rewari.
It sounds strange, but it is the bitter truth. At that time, Om Prakash Chautala was the Chief Minister of Haryana.
Once, Khanduri Sahib was traveling at night from Delhi to Jaipur in a private car. On the way, police personnel were stationed on the national highway in Rewari district. A Haryana Police officer had allegedly arranged for his brother-in-law to get the contract for fitting reflectors on every vehicle passing through that route.
“As the saying goes, the wife’s brother outweighs the whole world.” Thousands of vehicles passed daily, and huge money was being made.
The traffic police stopped Khanduri Sahib’s car and asked them to buy a reflector. At that time, Khanduri Sahib was asleep in the car. The driver said that it was a minister’s car. The traffic policeman replied, “Talk to our in-charge.”
The in-charge was also in no mood to listen. He said, “We don’t know any Khanduri. We only follow our boss’s orders. And the boss’s orders are that a reflector must be installed.”
When the driver informed Khanduri Sahib, he felt it was pointless to argue with the police. So the driver bought the reflector.
Later, Khanduri Sahib wrote to Chautala about how extortion-like practices were going on in Haryana. An inquiry was conducted, but the matter was brushed aside because police personnel tend to protect their own fraternity.
The police officer eventually apologized to Khanduri Sahib, and the large-hearted Khanduri Sahib forgave him. Besides, what else could he do? He knew that officers making huge illegal earnings usually have very strong backing.Tailpiece.More interesting and revealing stories of the Haryana Police will be mentioned in my soon coming book “Inside Story of Haryana Police “
