Employees at a toll plaza in Agra were allegedly thrashed by the security personnel of BJP MP Ram Shankar Katheria following an argument, ANI reported.
As per a video released by the news agency, the security personnel of Katheria, who is also the chairman of the National Commission for Scheduled Castes, also fired in the air. The reason behind the argument is not clear.
The incident comes a week after a toll collector at Kherki Daula toll plaza in Gurgaon was dragged on the bonnet of a car for 100 metres when he tried to stop a commuter from passing without paying tax. Another toll operator, in the same booth, was beaten up with a brick by a commuter the next day.
