New Delhi, April 8: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Friday hit out at the ruling BJP after a photograph of about half-a-dozen individuals including a journalist stripped half-naked in a police station in Madhya Pradesh’s Sidhi district went viral in social media and said the ”New India” government is afraid of truth.
लॉकअप में लोकतंत्र के चौथे स्तंभ का चीरहरण!
या तो सरकार की गोद में बैठकर उनके गुणगान गाओ, या जेल के चक्कर काटो।

On Thursday, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan took cognizance of the incident and ordered action against those responsible. The police have also ordered an inquiry.
Kanishk Tiwari, one of the victims, who claims to be a social media reporter, alleges that he was threatened by police, a BJP MLA and the latter’s men not to report news against them.
