Times of India: Ahmedabad:
Saturday, April 20, 2013.
Owner of a
private travel company, ParitoshRaval, was arrested by the Khadia police on
Friday after he threatened to immolate himself at the city police
commissioner's office in Shahibaug. But before he could carry out his threat,
he was arrested from his residence.
Raval said
some years back, he had procured a bus, but owing to a clerical goof-up by the
Regional Transport Office (RTO), the same number was allotted to his vehicle
and an autorickshaw. He claimed it to be a part of a larger racket in the RTO.
Raval, who
claims to be an RTI activist and has collected a lot of evidence in this regard
by filing RTI queries, had submitted these evidence to the Ranip police
station.
But, the cops
refused to register his complaint, forcing Raval to send a letter to the city
police commissioner on April 17. He threatened to immolate himself at 3.30 pm
on April 19 to press for justice.
Since
Wednesday morning, security was beefed up in the city police commissionerate.
