Ashok is from Sahvada village in Nangloi area of Delhi."We detained him as soon as we received information regarding the matter. We are interrogating him regarding the incident," said a police officer. Ashok threatened that if he doesn't get his job back, he would commit suicide, as he has no money left to take care of his family. His interrogation was on till late evening at the Parliament Street police station.

BSF officials refused to comment on the issue saying they didn't have any information about Ashok's termination from the force. "We don't know too many details about this incident. We will investigate the matter," said Vijay Singh, PRO BSF.


FOR TIBET

Last year, around ten Tibetan students stripped and locked themselves on the barbed wire fencing surrounding the Chinese embassy in Delhi in protest against Chinese oppression inside Lhasa. The protest came days after two Tibetans were sentenced to death by Chinese authorities for their role in riots in Tibet's regional capital of Lhasa in 2008.
