Tribal urination incident: Brahmins demand judicial probe, apology from CM for demolishing house of accused’s parents

The Akhil Bhartiya Brahmin Samaj (ABBS) on Monday demanded a judicial probe into the incident wherein a community member had allegedly urinated on a tribal youth in Sidhi district of Madhya Pradesh.

The Brahmin organisation has also demanded an apology from the Madhya Pradesh government for demolishing the house of the parents of the accused, Pravesh Shukla, compensation for rebuilding it, and revocation of National Security Act (NSA).

Local authorities had said an illegal portion of the house of Shukla's father was razed last week.

Pravesh Shukla in the peeing incident was arrested last Wednesday based on a viral video clip.

The ABBS has also threatened to launch protests across the country, especially in Madhya Pradesh, if their demands are not met.

ABBS members staged a protest in front of the Sidhi district collectorate and handed over a memorandum to the district magistrate seeking a judicial probe into the urinating incident.

“CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan should apologise to the parents of the accused for demolishing their house. The state government should give ₹10 lakh to parents of the accused Pravesh Shukla to rebuild their house,” ABBS' Sidhi unit president Rakesh Dubey told PTI on Monday.

He demanded the revocation of the NSA invoked against Shukla.

Chouhan last Thursday washed the feet of the tribal youth to express sorrow over the incident and apologised to him.
