He detained the truck and slapped a fine of Rs 5,000. But Ravji Bhalala allegedly rushed to the mamalatdar's office and allegedly threatened Makawana with dire consequences. "I am the brother of the BJP MLA. The truck is owned by the MLA... how dare you stop it? I will have you transferred," the accused was quoted as saying. Later in the evening, when Makawana was waiting for a bus at the Visavadar bus station, Bhalala found him there, abused him and slapped him repeatedly, the police said. Makawana then approached the police and lodged a complaint. Criticising the incident, the Gujarat State Revenue Employees' Union submitted a memorandum to the district collector on Wednesday afternoon and demanded stern action against the accused. The union's Junagadh chapter president Jahangir Bloch said: "We have demanded adequate safety and security for Makawana and action against the accused." He said all employees should be given protection while performing their duty.
