The police have arrested a youth after registering a case under relevant sections.

The SDM B K Dohre said, “I had gone to supervise the construction of a road under the NREGA scheme at Chabutara village. A government task force team had visited the village recently and had issued certain instructions. The gram panchayat of the village is looking after the construction work. A youth, Satyawan Yadav, who was drunk, arrived there along with some villagers and started hurling expletives at me and the gram pradhan.”

“The youth alleged irregularities in the work and also alleged that the pradhan was not following the norms while getting the work done. As I objected to youth’s behaviour, he along with his aides attacked me and tore my clothes off,” the SDM said. Police rushed to the spot and nabbed the youth while his associates fled the scene.
