City police commissioner refutes allegations of manhandling opposition leaders and the media, claims he had orders from the Speaker to handle a possible law and order situation.
After a high drama and a scuffle with MLAs, Police Commissioner Shankar Bidri clarified that he acted on the behest of the Speaker's direction to monitor law and order. Bidri was quick enough to present a letter to the media, supposedly written by the Speaker seeking reinforcements. But instead of an official letter from the Speaker's office, Bidri had received a four-line instruction on the letterhead of an MLA.
