MP 'spitting' row: Illegal portions of properties of three accused razed
Ujjain, Jul 19: Illegal portions of properties of three persons nabbed by the police for allegedly 'spitting' water on a religious procession in Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain were demolished on Wednesday by civic officials, police said.
Local authorities demolished the illegal parts of the properties of three accused located at Daba Road, Tanki Chowk and near Gold Bakery, said Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Akash Bhuria.
He said the list of the accused was given to the Ujjain Municipal Corporation after a case was registered against them by the police.
"The corporation found illegal constructions in their houses, which were removed after making announcements to allow the residents to remove their goods," Bhuria said.
Police had registered a case under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for disturbing communal harmony against the trio in connection with the 'spitting' water incident that occurred on Monday.
Bhuria said two of the three accused were produced in a court on Tuesday and sent to a juvenile home, while the third accused was remanded in judicial custody.
According to the complaint, some people, who were part of the procession of 'Baba Mahakal Sawari' on Monday, saw a few youngsters standing on the balcony of a building and spitting water on them.
Later, those part of the procession shot a video of the youngsters and lodged a police complaint, Bhuria had said.
Earlier, the incident led to a protest by Hindu outfits at Kharakua police station.

Man dies by suicide after being 'duped of ₹1.5 crore' in stock market scam
Jaipur (PTI): A 42-year-old man allegedly died by suicide after jumping in front of a Sikar-Rewari passenger train in Jhunjhunu district on Saturday morning, officials said.
Police launched a probe into allegations in a three-page suicide note in which the deceased allegedly blamed several individuals for his death, accusing them of cheating his family out of around Rs 1.5 crore through stock market investment.
The deceased cited mounting debts and alleged harassment by creditors as reasons that drove him to take the extreme step.
Kotwali police head constable Mahendra Singh said the deceased, Vimal Kumar Sharma, was identified using a mobile phone recovered from the spot near the New Housing Board police line crossing.
"We contacted numbers stored in the phone, which helped establish his identity. A suicide note was also found in the deceased's pocket," he said, adding that Sharma was engaged in share market trading.
In the suicide note, Sharma alleged that despite lodging a complaint at the Kotwali police station, police conducted no proper investigation and closed the case file without inquiry.
He claimed to possess evidence such as call recordings, a pen drive and bank statements.
Meanwhile, family members reached the hospital and demanded the arrest of the accused persons named in the suicide note, refusing to accept the body until action is taken.
Police said an investigation is underway.
(Assistance for overcoming suicidal thoughts is available on the state’s health helpline 104, Tele-MANAS 14416.)
