After the meeting, Umang Singhar stated that the delegation presented a memorandum to the DGP, asserting that the Congress is seeking an impartial investigation into the situation, claiming that Patwari's brothers have been wrongfully accused.
“The BJP government has targeted Congress members with baseless allegations to silence us, and now they are also harassing our families. The Indore police have acted on the orders of BJP leaders to file an FIR against Jitu Patwari's brothers without any preliminary investigation,” remarked Singhar.
The FIR was lodged at the Tejaji Nagar police station in Indore against Nanna Patwari and Bharat Patwari.
Another individual implicated in the FIR is Sadashiv Yadav, the Congress president for Indore district rural.
The complainant, Narendra Mehta (74), a resident of the Mahaveer Bagh area in Indore, accused Jitu Patwari’s brothers of defrauding him and illegally occupying 6.5 acres of his family land in the rural area of Umri Khedi.
He alleged that the Patwari brothers threatened him with violence when he protested their actions. The complainant informed the police that his 6.33-acre property in Umrikheda village on Khandwa Road was seized on March 29.
