Days after a controversy over a former Madhya Pradesh minister from the Congress making regressive comments against women, a lawmaker from the party has been caught threatening a woman officer.

The Morena hooch tragedy has claimed 21 lives in Madhya Pradesh where seven more people died on Wednesday, days after falling sick because of consuming spurious liquor, the police said.

Amid protests for continued government procurement at a pre-determined minimum price (MSP) and repeal of three recently passed agricultural laws, farmers in Madhya Pradesh have alleged exploitation by middlemen, and now demand an MSP for vegetables.

A Dalit man and his brother were mercilessly beaten up and their hut was burnt allegedly by a group of almost 15 men in Madhya Pradesh's Datia district, police said. The family was attacked because they allegedly refused to withdraw a two-year-old police case.

A young man's body, found on a train on Thursday night, was bitten by rats after the Railway Police or GRP left it in a hut outside the station in Madhya Pradesh's Itarsi city, near Bhopal.

In Madhya Pradesh's Indore, local authorities today demolished the ashram of self-styled godman "Computer Baba", saying it was an encroachment on village land. Six people, including the godman, have also been arrested.

A few hours of heavy rain on Friday flooded a government hospital's COVID-19 isolation ward in Chhattisgarh, where coronavirus cases have been on rise since September. The rain also disrupted the hospital's power supply forcing the staff to shift nine patients - six of them suspected to have Covid and three in need of oxygen - to another floor.

Two months after a teenager died by suicide after allegedly being gang raped by seven men at a wedding in Chhattisgarh, her father tried to kill himself on Tuesday, apparently because he couldn't get the police to file an FIR and investigate. Yesterday, the Chhattisgarh Police exhumed the girl's body and arrested five of the seven accused.

Twenty-two Congress workers in flood-hit Madhya Pradesh's Chhindwara district have been accused of "attempting to murder" a senior district officer, whose face they blackened during a protest on Friday, the police said today.

A group of masked men vandalised a toll plaza near Madhya Pradesh's Indore and attacked its staffers, the police have said, adding that they suspect Friday's incident to be the fallout of an ongoing disagreement over monthly toll payment by local farmers who have land on either side of the structure and have demanded an exemption.

Three cases have been filed against BJP leaders and workers after worrying visuals emerged of no social distancing being followed in a huge procession organised by party members in the Covid-hit district of Indore in Madhya Pradesh, where bypolls for 27 assembly seats are due later this year.

A new bridge built on the Wainganga river in Seoni district, some 350 km from Bhopal, collapsed today - August 30, 2020 - the very day it was supposed to have been officially completed.
