According to Tanwar,the marshal not only stopped his vehicle but also dragged him out of it. The marshal then called for the traffic sub-inspector,who in turn issued a challan to the senior politician.

The sub-inspector,Sachin Kumar,has been transferred back to police lines on a complaint of misbehaviour filed by Tanwar.

Traffic marshals are deputed for helping the public and not misbehaving with them, asserted Gurgaon police commissioner S S Deswal.

Action was also taken against the marshals superior,Deswal said,adding that traffic police personnel should not act solely on the guidance of a marshal.
