Shivpuri: In another case of ‘neta hooliganism’, two toll plaza employees in Madhya Pradesh were critically injured after they were allegedly thrashed by BJP Member of Parliament Nandkumar Singh Chauhan and his aides on Friday.

The incident took place in a town named Kolaras after the toll booth employees asked the leader for his identity proof. Though the incident was caught on the booth’s CCTV camera, Chauhan, who represents the Khandwa constituency, denied his involvement.

“The MP was passing by and an employee from the booth asked for his identity card. He didn’t reveal it, and instead came to the toll and beat up our employees. Two of our employees are injured, one of whom has received critical injuries on his head. There was blood all over the place. I get it that he is an MP and even the government has given them a pass, but how can he beat up people?” one employee from the booth said.

"We don't know the persons who thrashed our employees but it's heard that one was an MP. Employees asked him about his identity but he refused & thrashed them. The government has waived off toll for them, but thrashing is wrong," says a toll plaza employee. #MadhyaPradesh (5.10) pic.twitter.com/lNeFWf1ayH — ANI (@ANI) October 6, 2018

With Madhya Pradesh going into Assembly elections later this year, this incident comes as a shocker. However, in the past also, BJP hasn’t been seen taking any action against any of their leaders for such acts.
