BJP leader arrested for verbally abusing judge in Dewas:Officials demolish his illegal farm and buildings, two others still missing after car dispute

Pankaj Gharu, a BJP leader who verbally abused a judge in Dewas, was arrested by police on Wednesday. The district administration team also demolished the accused’s poultry farm built on government land, along with other illegal encroachments near his house. Two of his accomplices remain at large. The case stems from an FIR lodged at Nahar Darwaza police station by District and Additional Sessions Judge Prasann Bahrawat. The judge stated that Gharu, along with Bhim Gharu and another individual, had verbally abused him over a car parked in Jayshri Nagar, Dewas. Judge shouted at, car gate blocked Judge Bahrawat told police that he resides in Greens Colony, Dewas. On Tuesday, while heading to court in his car, he encountered Pankaj Gharu and two others who had parked a Scorpio in the middle of the road in Jayshri Nagar. When the judge asked them to move the vehicle, the accused allegedly misbehaved with him.
