Madhya Pradesh Lok Sabha Election 2024: BJP leader Imarti Devi has filed a First Information Report (FIR) against MPCC chief Jitu Patwari at the Dabra police station in Gwalior for making inappropriate remarks about her.
The incident unfolded on Thursday when Jitu Patwari arrived in Gwalior to conduct election meetings and campaign for Congress candidates. Later in the evening, he engaged with the media. During the interaction with journalists, Jitu Patwari made a remark about Imarti Devi, which swiftly gained attention in the media and began circulating widely on social platforms.
Upon learning of the incident, Imarti Devi promptly responded. On Friday, she visited the Dabra City police station and submitted a written application, filing a complaint against Jitu Patwari. In response to Imarti Devi's complaint, the police have registered an FIR against Jitu Patwari under Section 509 and 3(1) of the Atrocity Act.
