Madhya Pradesh BJP Leader Allegedly Beats Farmer To Death, Drives Over Him
Terror and mourning have gripped Ganeshpura village in Madhya Pradesh's Guna district, around 200 km away from the capital Bhopal, following a horrifying act of violence allegedly carried out by a local BJP leader. What began as a simmering land dispute ended in bloodshed on Sunday afternoon when Mahendra Nagar, the BJP Booth Committee President and a former office bearer of the Guna Kisan Morcha, allegedly beat a farmer to death, broke his limbs, and ran him over with a Thar jeep. On Sunday, the victim, Ramswaroop Dhakad, a 40-year-old farmer, was walking to his fields with his wife when the accused and his associates allegedly ambushed him. According to eyewitnesses and police sources, Mahendra Nagar and his group of 13 to 14 people brutally assaulted Ramswaroop with sticks and rods before running a vehicle over him.
