Police have registered a case against K. P. Kansana, nephew of Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh Minister A. S. Kansana, and 10 others for allegedly assaulting the employees of a toll bridge and fleeing with Rs 1.50 lakh in cash.
K. P. Kansana and his 10 unidentified accomplices were captured in CCTV of the toll booth while indulging in violence on Wednesday, said Superintendent of police Vineet Khanna.
The police registered a case under IPC sections 307 (attempt to murder) and 395 (dacoity) among others, the SP said, adding that the accused fled from the spot and a manhunt was on.
The toll bridge over the Chonda river is on the Gwalior-Morena road. As per the police complaint, when the toll bridge staff asked the driver of a truck laden with sand to pay the tax, he said his vehicle as well as three other sand-laden trucks behind him belonged to the family of the former minister and they would not pay toll.-PTI
