A Haryana Police sub-inspector posted here was Saturday suspended for allegedly being drunk and misbehaving with the public, including a legislator, police said.
Surender Singh, deployed near the Zila Sainik Board, reportedly misbehaved with people including some women. He forced two women, earlier booked under the immoral traffic act, standing near the gate of a hotel to leave the place, said a police officer who did not wished to be named.
Naresh Sharma, a Congress legislator from Badli in Jhajjar district, tried to intervene and then informed the senior officers about the incident.

No FIR was registered against the suspended officer.
