July 04, 2023- Madhya Pradesh police on July 5 arrested a man accused of urinating on a tribal youth in the Sidhi district, an official said.

A footage, in which a man can be seen urinating on a tribal man, surfaced online on the evening of July 4.

While the incident took place in the past, the accused, Pravesh Shukla, was booked on July 3 under the stringent National Security Act and relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 after the video went viral and Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan took cognisance of it.

What caused Mr. Shukla to mete out the humiliating treatment to the victim (name withheld) is unclear.

The accused was arrested at around 2 a.m. on July 5 on the basis of leads. He is being questioned, Additional Superintendent of Police Anjulata Patle said.

Earlier, Congress leaders shared the footage and a picture of Mr. Shukla with BJP leaders and claimed that he too was a BJP functionary.

“Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan has taken cognizance of the purported viral video showing a man urinating on another man. The CM has directed the relevant authorities to take strict action in the matter. The CM has also stated that the culprit should not be spared and NSA will also be imposed on him. The video is said to be from Sidhi district of the State,” Madhya Pradesh Congress spokesperson Abbas Hafeez tweeted.

Meanwhile, the BJP has distanced itself from Mr. Shukla.

“The person named Pravesh Shukla has nothing to do with the Bharatiya Janata Party. The Bharatiya Janata Party will always oppose every heinous act that will be done against the tribal society. BJP MP demands strictest action against this person,” BJP media in-charge Ashish Agarwal tweeted.

The State administration is yet to comment on the issue.

Home of man who urinated on tribal person partly demolished

Jul 06, 2023- BHOPAL/REWA: Authorities in Madhya Pradesh’s Sidhi district on Wednesday demolished a portion of a house belonging to 30-year-old Pravesh Shukla, hours after he was arrested and booked under stringent National Security Act (NSA) for allegedly urinating on a tribal man, officials said.

A video of the urination incident involving Shukla surfaced on Tuesday, following which the Opposition Congress asked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led state government to use a bulldozer to demolish his properties.

“One-third part of the house, i.e. around 400 sqft, which was constructed illegally, has been demolished,” Sidhi sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) Nilamber Mishra said.

Shukla was arrested around 2am on Wednesday after chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan issued strict directions to the police to book him under the stringent NSA. The accused is currently lodged in Rewa Central Jail.

“A viral video from Sidhi district has come to my notice...I have instructed the administration to arrest the culprit and take the strictest action and also invoke the National Security Act,” Chouhan had tweeted on Tuesday.

A case has been registered against the accused under sections 294 (obscene acts), and 504 (intentional insult to provoke breach of peace) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, an official from the CM’s office said on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, a senior police officer said that the accused and his family members allegedly forced the victim tribal man to sign an affidavit, claiming that the video of the incident was fake.

The victim has corroborated Shukla’s claim that the incident took place in 2020, Sidhi additional superintendent of police Anjulata Patle said. The tribal man, who worked as a labourer, also told the police that when the video first surfaced on social media earlier this week, he was approached by the Shukla family.

“He said that under pressure from the accused man and his family, he signed an affidavit on July 3. He, however, confirmed that the video is not fake,” Patle said. “He said that another man who accompanied Pravesh tried to urinate on him first, but the accused stopped him and urinated on him.”
Patle said three more people were present with Shukla at the time of the incident. “We will also interrogate them,” he added.

On Wednesday, Shukla’s family opposed the demolition of their house, with a few members fainting in front of the bulldozer.

“Pravesh has been implicated in a false case. We are fearful of encounter of my son,” Ramakant Shukla, the father of the accused, said. “If he has committed any mistake, he should be punished but why did the administration demolish our ancestral property.”

The incident sparked a political row, with the opposition Congress claiming the accused had a link with the BJP, a claim rejected by the ruling party and its Sidhi legislator Kedarnath Shukla.

Talking to reporters, state Congress leader Arun Yadav presented a list of BJP office-bearers from Sidhi. In the list, Shukla was named as mandal vice-president of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) — the youth wing of BJP. Yadav also circulated a news report about Shukla’s appointment as a representative of BJP Sidhi MLA Kedarnath Shukla.

Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi termed the incident an “inhuman act”. “Atrocities on tribal brothers and sisters are increasing in the BJP rule. The entire humanity has been put to shame by the inhuman crime of a BJP leader in Madhya Pradesh,” Gandhi alleged in a tweet in Hindi. “This is the disgusting face and real character of BJP’s hatred towards tribals and Dalits.”

Senior BJP leader and state’s home minister Narottam Mishra said it did not matter which party the accused belonged to, adding the act was “heinous, condemnable and a blot on humanity”. “He has committed a heinous crime and he will not be spared at any cost. The demolition of illegal construction will take place,” Mishra told reporters earlier on Wednesday morning.

BJP state president VD Sharma, meanwhile, formed a committee led by president of Kol Welfare committee to probe the matter and submit a report in this regard.

Both the BJP and the Congress have been trying to woo the tribal community in the state ahead of the crucial assembly elections scheduled for later this year.

Madhya Pradesh has a dubious record among all Indian states in terms of number of cases of atrocities against members of tribal communities. According to 2021 NCRB report, Madhya Pradesh reported 2,627 cases of atrocities against tribals, which was 29% of the total cases reported in the country.

Madhya Pradesh Tribal Man Who Was Urinated On Wants The Accused Pravesh Shukla Released

Jul 08, 2023- D.R., a tribal man from Sidhi district of Madhya Pradesh who was urinated upon by a man said to be the close confidant of the local MLA, has appealed for the release of the accused.

Pravesh Shukla, accused of urinating on R., was arrested on Wednesday under the IPC and the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. After the video of his despicable act went viral, action has also been initiated under the stringent National Security Act (NSA).

However, on Friday, R. said that Shukla has realised his mistake and should be released.

"My demand to the government is that a mistake has been committed (by the accused)…Now Pravesh Shukla should be released. Whatever has happened in the past, he has realised his mistake," R. said.

"He is a Pandit of our village, we demand from the government to release him," R. added.

He also said that except for the construction of a road in the village, he has nothing more to demand from the government.

Opposing the demolition, a Brahmin organisation on Friday said it will move the high court against the move as the house belonged to the father of the accused.

Madhya Pradesh unit of the Akhil Bharatiya Brahmin Samaj said while Shukla's act was deplorable, his family members can't be punished for his behaviour.

"I assure full help to the family of the accused and ask all the district presidents of the Samaj to help the Shukla family," the organisation's state chief Pandit Pushpendra Mishra said.

"Man like Pravesh Shukla is not acceptable in any caste and society. His act is highly deplorable. But is it lawful to punish others for the act of someone else," he asked.

The Samaj's Sidhi district president Rakesh Dubey along with other office-bearers of his unit, has handed over Rs 51,000 to the Shukla family on behalf of Mishra, he said.
