In India, Madhya Pradesh Tourism Minister, Tukoji Pawa (Tukoji Rao Puar), has been arrested for obstructing and threatening a female officer in her line of duty. Pawar had a meeting with someone at the Sub Divisional Magistrate in Dewas to ask that she reject a candidate’s nomination papers because he was late in the submission. Tukoji Pawa argued and then insulted the officer in charge. Puar belongs to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). (Via NDTV)
