CRPF commandos removed from poet Kumar Vishwas' security detail pending inquiry into road rage incident. Replaced by another team of commandos. Complaint filed by Vishwas' security alleging car hit and attacked by man. Vishwas says he had nothing to do with incident, will seek forgiveness.

The CRPF commandos deployed in the VIP security unit of poet Kumar Vishwas have been removed from duty pending an inquiry into a recent road rage incident where a doctor alleged that he was roughed up by the armed personnel, official sources said on November 10.

Another batch of CRPF commandos have replaced their colleagues for continuing the security cover, they said.

The Centre had accorded a small 'Y' category armed cover of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) VIP security wing to 53-year-old Mr. Vishwas last year following his allegations against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal with regard to supporting Khalistan supporters.

Mr. Kejriwal had dismissed the charges.
