Policemen manhandled me: Smriti

It was the most horrible moment in my life," said Smriti Irani, the famous TV star who was allegedly insulted by Belgaum police on Monday night.Speaking to the thisa website's newspaper from Mumbai on Tuesday, she termed the behaviour of police inhuman."They touched my body on the pretext of searching me," she added.Irani said that after the end of campaigning at Belgaum on Monday night, she was heading towards Goa when her vehicle was stopped by a constable at an unknown place near Belgaum. The constable asked her who she was and where she was going.Though she disclosed her identity, the constable got into the car and asked the driver to take the car to an obscure spot where five to six police officers were standing.The officers asked her to alight as they wanted to search the car, she said. The police officers then asked her to open the boot of the car empty her bag saying they wanted to search it. Horrified at the behaviour of the police officers, she asked them to call a woman police official so that she could search her bag. However, her pleas fell on deaf ears."I was terrified as I was surrounded by badly behaved policemen in an unknown place," she said.Jeetendra Kadam, president of BJP City District alleged that the police took the TV star to a police station and insulted her. Kadam alleged that the policemen were under the influence of alcohol.Police have however denied the charges and said that as election handbills were found in the car, she was asked to come to police station to give an explanation.
