Controversy after Haryana Health Minister orders Arrest of SDO, Health without hearing him out

Kaithal: Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij ordered the arrest of a “corrupt” SDO at a meeting in Kaithal even as the official pleaded for a chance to present his own case, according to a dramatic video clip circulating on social media.
“Arrest him,' Vij is heard telling policemen in the video, believed to be of the district grievance redressal committee's monthly meeting chaired by the minister on Friday.
The minister wanted the Public Health Engineering Department's sub divisional officer Ved Pal arrested over a graft complaint made by a contractor, Digvijay Singh of Kakheri village.
However, the local police had not carried out the arrest “order” until last evening.
The minister repeatedly refused to hear out the SDO even when Superintending Engineer A.K. Pahwa supported the junior officer, who is posted in Guhla.
