In Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh, the Youth Congress burnt the effigy of the Election Commission at Fountain Chowk in the city on Sunday (September 21) to protest the vote theft. During this time, a sudden fire broke out due to the activists spraying petrol on the effigy and four policemen got scorched in the grip of it.
SI Narayan Baghel has been seriously injured in the accident, while Prior Yuvraj Raghuvanshi, constable Sagar Dehria and Vikas Bais also got scorched. There was chaos on the spot after the incident. The policemen were trying to extinguish and remove the effigy, when the fire suddenly intensified.
After reaching the district hospital, he got information about their health of the injured policemen. The effigy burning demonstration by the Youth Congress in Chindwara is completely condemnable and shameful. Our police personnel were injured in this chaotic demonstration. Violence and anarchy have become the identity of the Congress. pic.twitter.com/mkvnrbzhtx
