"Unfortunate incident": Former CM Gehlot says BJP govt's credibility in Rajasthan diminished over Tonk violence

Mumbai: Former Rajasthan Chief Minister and Congress leader Ashok Gehlot on Friday termed the violence that broke out in Tonk as "unfortunate" adding that the incident has diminished the credibility of the BJP government in the State.
Speaking to ANI Gehlot said, "This is an unfortunate incident and should be condemned. This incident has reduced the credibility of the government because a government official has been attacked."
Terming the incident as "worrying" he said, "The incident indicates what the atmosphere is like in Rajasthan."
Violence had broken out in Tonk after Deoli Uniara's independent candidate Naresha Meena allegedly slapped Malpura Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Amit Chaudhary at a polling booth in Samravata village. The Ajmer Inspector General (IG) Om Prakash had arrested Meena along with others involved and peace was restored in the district.
Speaking to ANI, over the arrest of Meena, the Ajmer IG said, "A case was registered under sections of attempt to murder and destruction of public property. About 60 people who were involved in that incident were arrested. He (Naresh Meena) was also arrested and a total of 4 cases have been registered. Currently, the situation is peaceful."
Tonk Superintendent of Police (SP) Vikas Sangwan said that Meena's supporters set fire to the state highway outside Samravata village following the arrest.
"He was asked to not take the law into his hands and surrender. Initially, he was not in the mood but seeing the police force, he agreed. He will be charged under the relevant sections. Older records will be opened and arrests will be made accordingly. 50-60 people have been detained in this case," the police official told ANI.
