Jagran correspondent, Madhuban (Mau). There was an atmosphere of chaos throughout the day at the tehsil headquarters due to the arrest of a woman by the police in the case of misbehavior with SDM Rajesh Aggarwal during the installation of Khadanja in Kathtaraon of the area. However, till late evening, the administration was planning to take action against the woman in this matter.
The Khadanja built years ago in Kathtraon under Rampur police station of the area was uprooted. After this, a new stone was being installed at the same place by the Gram Panchayat. Which was being opposed by Vijay Shankar Tiwari etc. of the village itself citing that the matter was pending in the court.
After Pradhan informed the District Magistrate about this matter, the DM directed the Sub-District Magistrate to get the Khadanja installed as per the rules. On Monday, when the SDM along with the employees and police force of Fatehpur Mandav Development Block reached the spot to get the Khadanja installed, the women became furious and protesting against the construction of the Khadanja, started quarreling with the administration and misbehaving with the SDM. Later, the administration took a tough stand and got the fence installed.
Taking cognizance of the dispute with the administration during the installation of Khadanja, the police have detained Asha Tripathi, a resident of Kathtaraon, and issued a challan under the section of breach of peace. In this regard, the SDM said that every point in the case of Kathtaraon has been informed to the higher officials. Whatever guidelines are received from the higher level, legal action will be taken accordingly.
Question mark on the role of police
Madhuban: Despite the scuffle between the SDM and the women during the construction of Khadanja in Kathtaraon, due to the silence of the Rampur Police, a stampede situation had arisen on the spot and the administration had come on the backfoot. However, later the situation became normal on the initiative of the area officer. After this case went viral on the internet, people are questioning the role of Rampur Police.
