Leave the probe. Just ensure he can live peacefully. Because the foolish MLA supporters might be a threat to his life.
Probe needed for the land encroachment allegation. If it is true then MLA should give equal compensation
Foolish supporters of MLA. They also get the same condition in future.
It's a reward to all people who elected him as MLA.
Should slap that MLA
