New Delhi: After all the bad press generated, the Mayawati administration was forced to suspend Additional SP VP Ashok and CO Anup Kumar - the two men who ordered the roughing up of IBN 7 Journalist Shalabh Mani Tripathi.
An FIR has also been registered against the two senior police officers.
Under intense pressure and media scrutiny, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati held a high-level meeting on Monday to chalk out a strategy to deal with the Sachan case.
Mayawati warned the Uttar Pradesh police of strict action if journalists are harassed.
Two IBN 7 journalists were targetted, threatened and roughed up by senior police officers from the Lucknow administration on Sunday night.
Senior reporter Shalabh Mani Tripathi was forcefully taken to the police station at 11 PM without being given any reason.
Shalabh has been relentlessly tracking the murder of Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr YS Sachan, highlighting the loopholes in the probe and the versions given by the government.
