Two held for assaulting engineer

Narsinghpur, MP, May 24 : Two associates of BJP MLA Jalam Singh Patel were arrested for assaulting SEB engineer J K Soni in his office here on Monday, police said.

Police said Rajiv Thakur and Vijay Jat were arrested here yesterday, while Mr Patel, who was also an accused, was yet to be arrested as he had reportedly gone to Jabalpur.

On the engineer's complaint, a case of assaulting and causing hurdle in the discharge of government work was registered against the trio, who locked up the engineer in his office room and severely thrashed for not 'obeying' the MLA's dictats.

The BJP MLA is brother of Uma Bharti loyalist former Union Minister Prahlad Patel.
