Madhya Pradesh home minister's son arrested, released
June 12, 2008, Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh Minister of State for Home
Ramdayal Ahirwar's son and two others accused of manhandling and
abusing a police officer were arrested and later released on bail, the
police said Thursday.
Ahirwar, who belongs to Chhattarpur district, was made minister June 5
by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
Ahirwar's son Laxmi, who is president of Chhattarpur district's
Maharajpur Nagar Panchayat, and two others wanted the police officer
to arrange vehicles for them to attend the swearing-in ceremony of his
father.
When the official expressed his helplessness, the minister's son
allegedly barged into his house, broke window panes and damaged
vehicles parked in the premises.
He and his associates left the house only after the officer whipped
out his revolver in defence.
Though the officer informed the Chhattarpur police superintendent
immediately after the incident, the case against Laxmi and his
accomplices was registered only after 20 hours.
"The case was registered Saturday evening," said Jagdeesh Shukla,
Chhattarpur district Congress Committee president adding: "Cases
against the accused have been registered under sections of the Indian
Penal Code that are bailable. Since the accused had forced himself
into the police officer's house, they should have been charged under
sections like 452 of IPC (a non-bailable offence)".
The Congress has demanded Laxmi's arrest and resignation by Ramdayal
Ahirwar as minister.
The Congress leaders submitted a memorandum to the district collector
Tuesday saying: "the 'drama' of arrest and release ended within 15
minutes that too late Wednesday evening - six days after the
incident."
Chhattarpur superintendent of police D. Sriniwas Rao, however, refuted
the Congress charge of the case being registered under less stringent
sections of the IPC. He, however, did not elaborate and said: "I can't
say anything more since I am in a meeting." (IANS)
