Allegations by Naresh Meena Against the SDM

Demands of Naresh Meena
After slapping the SDM, Meena demanded the presence of the Collector, who he asserts did not arrive, claiming she was busy. This led him to protest, but when his meal and mattress were being delivered, police prevented access, leading to his supporters being lathi-charged. Meena claimed he was attacked with a chili bomb, rendering him unconscious, after which his supporters hid him 5 kilometers away in a house. He insisted the SP should come for his arrest but called for action against the SDM.
