Ruckus outside Indore jail over Akash's arrest

June 27, 2019 00:11

Security was beefed up outside the District Jail, Indore on Wednesday after supporters of Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Akash Vijayvargiya, who was arrested for thrashing a Municipal Corporation officer earlier in the day, created a ruckus.

Akash, son of senior BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya, was brought to the jail after a court in Indore denied him bail.

A supporter of the leader even attempted to set himself on fire.

"We are ready to sacrifice ourselves for him. Akash Vijayvargiya didn't do anything wrong by beating up the official," the supporter told media in Indore before being taken into custody by police.

Madhya Pradesh Police had earlier today arrested Akash for thrashing a Municipal Corporation officer with a cricket bat.

A case has also been registered against 10 others in this regard. -- ANI
