A video showing Nikhil Chaudhary, nephew of BJP MLA Manoj Chaudhary, creating chaos at a toll plaza near Bhonrasa on the Dewas–Bhopal highway has gone viral, drawing widespread criticism.
Police said the incident occurred on August 6 around 6 pm, when a car with registration number MP 09 CV 8414 reached lane number 10 of the toll plaza. The occupants allegedly engaged in a heated argument with toll staff, demanding that the vehicle be allowed to pass without paying the toll fee.
According to the complaint filed by the toll plaza’s shift-in-charge, Nikhil Chaudhary exited the vehicle holding a stick, hurled abuses at the staff, and threatened them by saying, “My name is Nikhil Chaudhary, you don’t know me. Let my vehicle pass for free, or else I will kill all you toll people.” Two other men also stepped out of the car and joined him in the confrontation.
The FIR notes that during the altercation, Chaudhary threw the plaza’s stopper, further escalating the situation.
Madhya Pradesh police have booked Nikhil Chaudhary and his two accomplices under Sections 296, 351(3), and 3(5) of the Indian Penal Code. An investigation into the incident is currently underway.
