BJP MLA booked for assaulting two Dalit women
Dehradhun: The Uttarakhand Police on Sunday charged an MLA of the Bharatiya Janata Party with criminal intimidation and voluntarily causing hurt, after a video purportedly showed him beating up and hurling casteist abuses at two Dalit women.
On Friday, two families approached Thukral to sort out a dispute – a 16-year-old girl from one family and a 17-year-old boy from the other had eloped. Thukral, who represents the Rudrapur constituency in the Assembly, is believed to have lost his cool after the two sides got into a scuffle at the meeting at his house.
A video of the incident was widely shared on social media.

రాజకీయాల నుంచి తప్పుకుంటున్నాను.
— Vijayasai Reddy V (@VSReddy_MP) January 24, 2025
