Soon After BJP MLA Akash's Arrest, Old Picture Of Father Kailash Vijayvargiya Thrashing ASP Surfaces

New Delhi: It was only hours after senior Bhartiya Janta Party leader Kailash Vijayvargiya’s son BJP MLA Akash Vijayvargiya was being slammed for thrashing a civic official in full public view while opposing demolition of a house, a very similar picture has surfaced of Kailash Vijayvargiya bashing a senior police officer. In a video which dates back to 1994, where Kailash Vijayvargiya can be seen holding a shoe in front of an ASP in Indore. It was when he was the serving Indore as a Mayor. This comes after several jibes were taken at Akash Vijayvargiya for thrashing the civil official, where some also slammed him for “Tarnishing his father’s reputation”.  But, the mouths were shut after a very similar picture of his father came to light. Akash was arrested on Wednesday when he assaulted a civic official in full public view while opposing demolition of a house. While he was lodged in district jail in Azad Nagar here, a police team `officially' arrested him for a protest on June 4 over power cuts. Chief Minister Kamal Nath's effigy was torched during the demonstration. The BJP MLA is accused of leading the protest without taking mandatory permissions. Inspector Rajendra Chaturvedi of MG Road police station said Akash was arrested under IPC section 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) of the IPC. Ten other accused are wanted in the case, he added. After his arrest for assaulting a civic official, Indore sessions court Thursday rejected Vijayvargiya's bail plea, saying he will have to approach the special court at Bhopal, set up to handle cases against legislators.
