He ordered Giri's immediate arrest beside seizure of his vehicle.
A FIR was lodged against him at police station Kishtwar and the matter was brought to the notice of Commandment IRP 6th battalion about the misconduct of the erring police constable, the police officer said.
In the evening, he got bail from a court.
