Apna Dal national general secretary and MLA Anupriya Patel today raised a matter of breach of privilege in the Assembly alleging "indecent" behaviour by revenue department officials.
Raising the matter during zero hour, Patel said that on December 3 when she was on visit to her constituency Rohania (Varanasi), revenue officials behaved in an "indecent" manner with her, and later fake cases were lodged against her and her supporters.
She alleged that she tried to contact District Magistrate, who neither picked her call nor called back, and demanded inquiry into the incident.
Speaker Mata Prasad Pandey said that her concern would be looked into by the government.
