Police on Wednesday arrested Pravesh Shukla, who is accused of urinating on a tribal youth in Sidhi. A video of the incident went viral on social media platforms on Tuesday, following which the police registered a case against him and took further action.

An official from the MP Chief Minister's Office has said that a case had been registered against Pravesh under Indian Penal Code sections 294 (obscene acts), 504 (intentional insult to provoke breach of peace), and provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.

Hours after Madhya Pradesh police arrested Sidhi district resident Pravesh Shukla, the local authorities on Wednesday pulled down a part of a house belonging to his father.

"His father Ramakant Shukla's house was not constructed as per permissions and therefore the illegal portion of it is being demolished," a district official said.
