Questioned about party legislator Radha Mohan Das Agarwal's spat with a woman police officer in Gorakhpur, the minister said that Mr Adityanath had asked all legislators to exercise restraint while dealing with officers, "especially women". He, however, defended the MLA saying that people in Gorakhpur had complained about the police officer's "tough actions".
The incident took place in Gorakhpur last week when the police officer, leading a team to evict protesters, was publicly admonished by Mr Agarwal.
