A journalist who was allegedly robbed of his belongings in Indirapuram on Tuesday received another shock after the police initially refused to lodge an FIR.

Ultimately, it took a tweet from a friend of the victim, Alok Kumar, that tagged Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and senior officers of the State Police for disciplinary action to be initiated against a sub-inspector and two constables of the Indirapuram police station on Wednesday.

The victim alleged that the policemen refused to file an FIR on Tuesday night and also refused to take him to a hospital.

The alleged incident occurred at around 10.30 p.m. when the TV journalist was returning from his sister’s house in Niti Khand-I.
