New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has apologised for using slang 'thulla' against Delhi Police, saying it was not intended for "honest" personnel of the force.
Mr Kejriwal said that he had used "thulla" against those policemen who "harass" poor people for money, adding that strict action needs to be taken against such personnel.
The Delhi chief minister had used "thulla", slang for a cop, in an interview. Angry over the remark, several policemen had registered complaints against him for alleged defamation.
"If our honest police officers' emotions got hurt by this word, I apologise to them for my remark (thulla)," Mr Kejriwal told a tv channel.
