Madhya Pradesh: Man urinates on tribal labourer’s face; CM Shivraj Chouhan orders action

A purported video of a man urinating on a tribal person in Sidhi district went viral on social media on Tuesday.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan took cognizance of the incident and directed officials to take strict action including imposing National Security Act (NSA) against the accused.

An official from the Chief Minister’s Office told News 18 that a case was registered against the accused, identified as Pravesh Shukla, at Bahari police station under Indian Penal Code sections 294 (obscene acts), 504 (intentional insult to provoke breach of peace), and provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Action against the stringent NSA was also initiated, he added.

“A viral video of Sidhi district has come to my notice…I have instructed the administration to arrest the culprit and take strict action and also impose NSA,” CM Chouhan wrote on Twitter.

मेरे संज्ञान में सीधी जिले का एक वायरल वीडियो आया है…

मैंने प्रशासन को निर्देश दिए हैं कि अपराधी को गिरफ्तार कर कड़ी से कड़ी कार्रवाई कर एनएसए भी लगाया जाए।

Former Chief Minister and Congress leader Kamal Nath condemned the incident and attacked the BJP for tribal atrocities and shaming the state.

“There is no place in a civilized society for such a heinous and fallen act with the youth of the tribal society. It is alleged that the person urinating is said to be associated with the Bharatiya Janata Party. Madhya Pradesh is already number one in tribal atrocities. This incident has put the entire Madhya Pradesh to shame,” he said, in a tweet.

प्रदेश के सीधी जिले से एक आदिवासी युवक के ऊपर पेशाब करने की क्रूरता का वीडियो सामने आया है। आदिवासी समाज के युवक के साथ ऐसी जघन्य और गिरी हुई हरकत का सभ्य समाज में कोई स्थान नहीं है।
आरोप है कि पेशाब करने वाला व्यक्ति भारतीय जनता पार्टी से जुड़ा हुआ बताया जा रहा है।
