Police have registered a case against K P Kansana, nephew of Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh Minister A S Kansana, and ten others for allegedly assaulting the employees of a toll bridge and fleeing with Rs 1.50 lakh in cash.
K P Kansana and his ten unidentified accomplices were captured in CCTV of the toll booth while indulging in violence today, said the district Superintendent of police Vineet Khanna.
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 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 A S Kansana, and they would not pay toll.
The driver then rang up K P Kansana, and within minutes K P Kansana and others reached and attacked the toll bridge staff with sticks.
They also fired guns in air, and fled with Rs 1.50 lakh cash, police said.
