A cop who was suspended for disrespecting the khaki after he sought 'permission' to beg in uniform when he did not get his salary for two months said he had no intention to insult the force. He said he had not received his salary because he had taken leave from work to take care of his ailing wife . The irony worked — his salary was credited to his bank account — but it begot another irony. Before writing the letter, he had called up Samadhan helpline for a resolution and also sought the bosses' intervention. Ahirrao claimed he had to go on emergency leave on March 23 after his wife fractured her leg, and had informed his unit in-charge.
