A man in Madhya Pradesh allegedly posed as a relative of a minister to policemen when he was stopped from playing loud music at a wedding function.
A man allegedly posed as the nephew of a Madhya Pradesh minister and threatened and abused policemen when they stopped loud music from being played at a wedding function, a senior official said on Wednesday.
Some videos later surfaced on social media in which the man, identified as Udayraj Singh Sisodia, was purportedly seen abusing the policemen while claiming that he was the nephew of MP Panchayat Minister Mahendra Singh Sisodia. Superintendent of Police Pradeep Sharma said the minister had called him over the phone and denied being related with the accused.
The incident took place in the wee hours of Sunday when head constable Suresh Mewade and two other policemen went to stop loud DJ music from being played at a marriage garden in Pachor town of the district, the police official said. The accused allegedly abused and threatened the policemen and stopped them from doing their work, he said.
On Tuesday, an FIR was registered against Udayraj Singh Sisodia under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the MP Kolahal Niyantran Adhiniyam (an Act to control noise pollution), the official said. After the clips went viral on social media, the accused issued a video statement seeking an apology for his act.
