Kalaburagi: District In-charge Minister Priyank Kharge has apologised for the inappropriate behaviour of IGP and In-charge Police Commissioner Ajay Hilori, who pushed journalists while entering the convocation hall of Gulbarga University.
Senior journalists, including the District President of the Working Journalists Association, Baburao Yadrami, brought the incident to the minister’s attention on Tuesday, condemning the inhumane behaviour of Hilori and other police officers towards journalists during the convocation ceremony.
Kharge assured the journalists that he would speak to the concerned officer and apologised on their behalf. However, the journalists requested that no apology was necessary, instead asking the police to refrain from unnecessarily disturbing journalists in the future. The minister’s prompt response and apology demonstrate his commitment to maintaining a positive relationship between the police and the press.
