Bhopal: After MLA Akash Vijayvargiya bashed up a municipal officer in Indore, yet another BJP leader in Madhya Pradesh beat up a government officer in Satna district with sticks. Ramnagar BJP Nagar Panchayat president Ram Sushil Patel on Friday reached municipality office at Satna and assaulted the Chief Municipal Officer Devratnam Soni with sticks. Grievously injured in the assault, the officer was taken to Primary Health Centre. The condition of the injured officer was sad to be serious.
Locals claimed that the CMO had in the past complained to police over threats from the BJP leader but the police did not take any action against the influential politician. Initially it wasn’t clear what was the tiff about which prompted the leader to assault the officer.
Superintendent of Police Riyaz Iqbal talking to media persons claimed that statements of both the parties have been recorded. We are verifying the statements besides scanning the footage of CCTV cameras installed at nagar parishad office, said the senior cop.
Notably, Akash Vijayvargiya, son of BJP general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya is in jail after he assaulted civic officers on June 26.
