The Badaun police on Saturday ordered a probe into yet another instance of its personnel undertaking security check of road users and their vehicles at gun point.
The district police launched the probe after photographs of policemen subjecting road users to security checks at gun point a day earlier in Moosajhag area of the district went viral on the social media.
The district police earlier in June this year too had subjected people to security checks at gun point with both their arms held up in air in hands-up position.
Reacting to the latest instance of security check at gun point, Badaun's Senior Superintendent of Police Ashok Kumar Tripathi told PTI, "This is a serious matter and the SP City will be probing it. Stringent action will be initiated against the guilty persons."
