JAMMU, July 18: Police here denied the charge of a state government officer regarding not permitting carrying of the body of his father during yatra convoy on highway.
A police spokesman in a statement said, "The fact is at Tikri at about 0557 hrs one UP number ambulance was trying to enter the convoy which was not allowed by the convoy commander. The person in ambulance claimed that the vehicle is carrying dead body of his father but the officer could not verify the facts in the moving convoy and thus the vehicle followed the convoy and was not allowed to overtake it. Once the convoy stopped and the officer ascertained the facts the ambulance was allowed to proceed ahead. This is total misrepresentation of facts."
