A BJP leader allegedly pushed a 15-year-old girl out of a garba event in Indore, prompting police to register a case under the POCSO Act. The leader is now facing investigation for the incident.
The incident took place during a garba celebration in Indore, where a 15-year-old girl was reportedly pushed out of the venue by a BJP leader. Witnesses said the girl was removed from the event premises following an altercation.
Police responded to the complaint and invoked the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, registering a case against the leader. Authorities have confirmed that an investigation is underway to ascertain the facts and determine appropriate action.
The BJP has not issued an official statement on the matter as of this report. Legal experts note that pushing a minor out of a public gathering can attract scrutiny under child protection laws, especially if the act is deemed to have caused mental distress or harm.
