BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya's son - and the party's MLA in Madhya Pradesh - was Wednesday arrested for attacking a civic body official with a cricket bat, after a heated argument over a demolition drive.
A video of the assault went viral on social media, after which police filed an FIR against Akash Vijayvargiya and 10 others in connection with the assault, an official said.
Akash went about beating up the officer even as media persons surrounded him with cameras and recorded the entire incident.
Justifying his action, Akash said, "In the BJP, we have been taught, pehle aavedan, phir nivedan aur phir danadan. (first request and then attack)."
