Indore, Jun 26: Akash Vijayvargiya, BJP MLA from Indore-3 constituency and son of party general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya, on Wednesday beat up a zonal officer of Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) for attempting to demolish a building of his supporter that was declared 'dangerous'.

Akash, who was arrested by the MG Road police, was produced before a local court. Cases under IPC sections 353, 294, 506, 147, and 148 have been registered against him and 10 others.
Earlier today, as the video of the attack went viral on social media, IMC staff went on a flash strike and staged a protest against the MLA.

In the video, Vijayvargiya is seen beating up the IMC zonal officer, Dheeraj Bais, with a cricket bat after he refused to call off the demolition drive. His supporters even damaged the windshield of vehicles of IMC officials. The situation got under control after police intervention.

The MLA later told reporters that the demolition was politically motivated and the building's condition was not that bad.

"I had brought this to the notice of IMC authorities and requested them not to take any action, but they did not listen to my request and sent a team to demolish the building. As I came to know about it, I reached the spot and tried to explain the issue to the zonal officer concerned, but he did not listen to me either. This is when I lost my patience," Vijayvargiya said.

However, he did not admit that he hit the civic official, saying, "I don't remember what I did to him. There were women in the building and the male staff of IMC were pushing them out of the building."

"I tried to make them understand about the risk. The building is in a dilapidated state and poses high risk to the lives of those living in it. But they did not listen to us, and thrashed and beat me up with a cricket bat," said Zonal officer Bais.

Bais later approached the MG road police to lodge a complaint against Vijayvargiya. The police had recorded his statements and an investigation was launched into the issue.

The civic body is running a drive to bring down dilapidated structures in the city to prevent any untoward incident during rains.

"A video got viral about the incident after which people donated to me on a portal. They empathised with me when I was ruined. I thank the media and all those people who have donated from the bottom of my heart as they made my Eid. Now, I would be able to celebrate Eid with my children.

New Delhi, Mar 4: A court in Delhi on Wednesday convicted expelled BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar of culpable homicide not amounting to murder in the death of the Unnao rape victim's father.

District judge Dharmesh Sharma said Sengar had no intention of killing the victim's father. “He was beaten in a brutal manner that led to his death,” the judge said.

The court had sent Sengar to jail on December 20 for the “remainder of his natural biological life” for raping the woman in 2017, when she was a minor.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had examined 55 witnesses in support of the case and the defence examined nine witnesses.

The court had recorded the statements of the rape survivor's uncle, mother, sister and one of her father's colleague who claimed to be an eyewitness to the incident.

Charges were framed against Sengar, his brother Atul, Bhadauria, sub-inspector Kamta Prasad, constable Amir Khan and six others in the case.

The case was transferred to Delhi from a trial court in Uttar Pradesh on the directions of the Supreme Court on August 1 last year.

In July, 2019 a truck rammed into the car the rape victim was travelling in with some family members and her lawyer.

Two of her aunts died in the incident. She was airlifted from a hospital in Lucknow and to AIIMS in Delhi.

The victim has been provided accommodation in Delhi and is under CRPF protection.
