Police has detained the accused family members for misbehaving with females and attacking them. A large number of locals demonstrated outside Pratap Nagar Police station against the accused.

According to the sources, people of the area raised objection on a liquor shop to be opened in the residential area, and administration also debarred opening the shop in residential area.

The accused Chunnilal Salvi, who wanted to rent his shop to liquor contractor was frustrated with the protest and the orders of administration. Yesterday, Salvi got into argument with a female of the area identified as Seema Meghwal.
