An FIR was lodged against 158 people, including local leader Vinod Dubey, for allegedly misbehaving with Union Minister and Apna Dal leader Anupriya Patel during a road show in Pratapgarh, UP.
The incident occurred when Apna Dal workers, who were on a roadshow with the Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare and party MLA RK Verma, 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 FIR was subsequently lodged at Raniganj police station.
The Union Minister had said that the incident was a “conspiracy” to disturb her party’s procession.
