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.

Posting his allegation on his personal ‘X’ account on Saturday morning, Kharge said that he was referring to an issue that had not been dealt with decisively by Indian media houses.
“Here is a crucial story that the Indian media will never touch,” the minister has said, and clarified, “This so-called “body of individuals” has built a global network of over 2,500 affiliated organisations. Through these fronts, the RSS collects “guru dakshina” to fuel its divisive agenda. (sic)”
Kharge has further alleged, “The world’s largest NGO is running amok, laundering money and evading accountability.”
The minister added, “Here is a map of their organisational architecture of their “Vichar Parivaar.” https://rssproject.caravanmagazine.in / @thecaravanindia”
