An FIR was lodged against 158 people for allegedly misbehaving with Union minister and Apna Dal leader Anupriya Patel during a road show Pratapgarh, UP.

"An FIR was registered against local leader Vinod Dubey and over 157 others last night for allegedly misbehaving with Patel and Apna Dal workers during their party's roadshow," a senior police office said.

The FIR has been lodged at Raniganj police station. The incident had occurred yesterday afternoon when Apna Dal workers were on a roadshow with Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare and party MLA RK Verma.

Police said the procession came face to face with the supporters of Dubey, who is planning to contest the state assembly polls as an Independent candidate, leading to an argument.

The Union minister had said the incident was a "conspiracy" to disturb her party's procession.
